Steering stabilizers

Could we benefit from one of these? I don't think my truck has a factory one. Anybody else have one?

I have been wondering that myself. I have been told that the single is good but the double, unless you run huge tires, is a waste of money. Just my three cents. (inflation)

I've got one on on my truck, its been on there for a year and a half but I don't think it made a huge difference. I just got the rancho mounts and then put a monroe stabilizer shock on.

stabilizer

I have used a steering stabilizer on my 4 wheelers (CJ, P/U) since the late 70's. I like them but not a super necessary item. A single is all you need unless you have 36" or bigger tires or you really get-it when you off road. There isn't a big difference for every day driving until you hit those huge spring pot holes at highway speeds.
