Default Steering Stabilizers????

Are they really that nice? I have about 7" of lift and no stabilizer. I found a single pro comp kit for $90 but its for 2wd. A double skyjacker kit for $130 but I don't wanna drop that money into somethin that isnt really worth it.

Also what are some good shocks for under $200

I ran one on my old S-10 when I installed heavy bias ply Super Swampers. They do make a difference in keeping bigger tires under control. They will dampen some of the feedback that comes through to the steering wheel. Makes driving less tiresome,if you could imagine somewhat.
Just don't expect them to correct, or cover up any problems you may have. Any shimmies, shakes, bump steer, etc.. will still be there unless the problem is fixed.

Any 4x4 I ever had I always upgraded it, usually to a Rancho, or I installed one. I think they make a huge difference, I even lifted a 2wd and put one on. Jeeps use to come factory with them 2wd and 4x4.

I have a single Rancho and it made a difference. I got a good deal on it, 130 for everything and a extra shock, brand new.
