    How important is it to have the front steering stabilizer shock on my CJ7 with a front locker all of my rigs have always had one but I wondered if it just causes more resistance plus this is not going to be driven on the street off-road only

    Thanks guys

    Off-road at low speeds you won’t miss it.

    The steering stabilizer is a death-wobble averter, especially on pavement. What kind of speeds do you anticipated off-road?

    Not fast at all. Mostly rock crawling.

    I got rid of mine years ago. I have to suggest a stronger tie rod also, I have seen many bend quite easily, even my own.

    Thanks. I have upgraded HD tie rods already which is why I can't mount the shock. Their too fat lol.
