Re: Steering Stabilzier - dual vs single shock?
There are cazillion ways to mount that shock absorber, of which the
stock TJ's probably the least effective. Remember if it is installed in
a low position it's outside is merely a reservoir and until it is beaten
enough to leak will have no effect on it ability to absorb punishment:

Perhaps you could enlighten us on that last statement?? Why would a
horizontal lower one not work as well as a horizontal upper one?

Re: Steering Stabilzier - dual vs single shock?
I didn't say the lower one wouldn't work as well. Ideally that's
where you want the dampener to be parallel to, and mounted to the tie
rod: http://www.----------.com/dampenerShocks.pdf that way it dampens
both tires evenly. But it's going to hit down below the tie rod, a fact
that doesn't bother the off-road racer. TJ's brite idea is to just
dampen the steering box, it's got to go though three tie rod ends to
stop the deflecting action of the left tire bouncing off a rock:
