💯 improvement.
This device has absolutely improved my steering stiffness and resolved drifting after a 2.5” lift and 35” tires. It provided a great reduction in bump steer as well, but don’t expect it to correct improper geometry caused by a cheap lift. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with a proper jeep lift.

You don't need to drill the holes or bend the bracket, just turn it with your hand.
Effortless steering, matches the Fox shocks, bling-bling!Installation Tips for 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport:Install the new axle bracket to the new steering stabilizer, use red LT.Jack up driver side to move the track bar away from the axle bracket bolts.Remove the three 13mm bracket bolts.Remove the 18mm right steering knuckle bolt.Install the new steering stabilizer axle bracket side first. Start the two top bolts, then start the third bottom bolt into the axle. If the bracket doesn't line up you can twist the bracket left and right and it will fit. The axle bracket mount pivots, you just have to pull hard. You don't need to drill the holes or bend the bracket, just turn it with your hand.Torque the three bolts to 27ftlb.If your Jeep has the square right steering knuckle 18mm bolt, reuse the OEM 18mm steering stabilizer bolt from the axle side. Then you can order the correct bolt later and not have to wait.

Great product, but it didn’t work for me
Unfortunately I can’t give this a five star review like I thought I would be doing. I had a bump steer issue read all the reviews, and thought this steering stabilizer would fix the problem. I thought wrong, the stabilizer made the bump steer worse. I know fox makes a great product I have the 2 inch lift on my jeep that was installed by a Mopar dealer. I can’t figure out why this high-performance steering stabilizer gave me worst performance than the new factory steering stabilizer that was recently replaced due to a recall. I doubt if it was a defect but who knows.

Hours I will never get back
So I did a fair amount of research and watched a video about the three fox stabilizer options for the Gladiator. 1st, it was supposed to be plug and play using the OEM hardware. Not the case. The bolt by the tire is a square fitting which does not fit through the Fox stabilizer. New lag bolt needed which I went and picked up. Next issue, the new mounting brackets holes were not properly aligned. Making mounting it virtually impossible. I’ll try again tomorrow but what should have been a 1/2 hour job turned into a 3hr $—t show. Disappointed Fox. This was on my Gladiator, I have a JK with Fox Reservoir 2.0 that I’ve bees happy with. Making me rethink my next purchase…

Great quality
This was a great replacement for the factory Mopar stabilizer that came standard on my 2023 gladiator. The quality is super nice and I also like how you have the option to rebuild if needed. Took about a hour of time to install. If you have a 2022 gladiator and above, you will have to purchase a stabilizer bolt ( part #6510774AA ). I feel a slight difference with handling but nothing to crazy. I would recommend this upgrade regardless to anyone who is thinking about getting this stabilizer since it is way better quality than the factory.

If you have a Jeep JT or JL, BUY THIS!!! It's worth every penny!
I purchased and installed this on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, and I must say, it was truly night & day difference from the factory stabilizer. I have a 2.5" lift and 37x13.50 tires on 20x10 wheels, and it handles the bumps in the roads without hardly any feeling in the wheel anymore, and the Jeep no longer wanders all over the road like it did before, and it longer follows the ruts in the road, it stays planted where you keep the tires pointed. It also stiffened up the steering wheel feeling while driving down the road, and I REALLY like that aspect, since I come from a high-performance background. I do not like light/easy steering on vehicles. I like to feel like I am in 100% control over the vehicle while underway and feel the steering. This really made a HUGE difference over stock. I honestly couldn't believe how much of a difference just a steering stabilizer made. The factory one must not be doing ANYTHING under there. Bottom line... If you have a Jeep JT or JL and you have light/wandering steering issues, I HIGHLY recommend spending the money on this! It is truly night & day difference.

Feels great in steering, but it's rather weak.
I bought this part in the hopes it might help not only better save me from some experienced "death wobble". The dealer suggested the OEM part was a frequent root cause. Therefore, why not just bypass them and go directly to a part that should fix this for the long haul.Replacing the stabilizer was fairly easy, even though I had to bend a self-tightening nut wings to make it install. But it was an easy 30-40 minute job. Fox instructions are easy, and the parts seem well built.The feel of the steering was very smooth from extreme left to extreme right. Very linear.Unfortunately, the death wobble I experienced became more frequent. I realized the Fox shock must be weaker than the OEM part. So, I replaced the Fox with the OEM part, and it seems more stable now. I can only suggest, and as Fox suggested to me, don't buy this part in the hopes to fix or reduce death wobble. Make sure the root cause is identified and repaired first. Then, if you desire to sweeten your driving experience should you buy the Fox Shox.UPDATE: Dealer replaced the steering stabilizer with an updated OEM part. No more Death wobble since the part was replaced, and it's been several months now.
