Steering Stabilizer Recommendations?

Shouldn't you be toe'd in just a tad? Looks dead even front to back based on your pics.

My pic of the rear is slightly from the right (you can see the side of the steel bar), giving the impression that it is almost identical to the front. If I were more straight up and down like the front you can see it's slightly less than 1/16" greater than the front, so I am toad (LOL) in. I looked at it several times just to make sure, but in the end I concluded it was probably 1/32 or slightly more toed in.

While the choice between a dual or single stabilizer is more of a personal choice, there’s certain conditions that make one option a better choice over the other. If you’re operating a Jeep that’s running 33-inch or smaller tires, not used for heavy-duty operations, and driven mainly on paved roads or highways, than a single stabilizer offers a more sensible option. However, if you have 35-inch or larger tires, plan to plow snow or frequently use a wench, and plan to do a lot of off-roading, a dual stabilizer offers better control and stability.

What are two 50:50 valved shocks going to do for your 4,000 pound Jeep that one can’t do? If everything is right in the front end you shouldn’t even need a steering stabilizer (technically a damper)

Thank you for the answer. I'm studying it now, my friends convince me otherwise, that thanks to the steering damper, the steering of the SUV is more comfortable for the driver, the level of vibration is reduced and smoother driving is improved. The steering damper ensures more even tyre wear and protects the steering elements in off-road conditions. I've watched a lot of reviews too, for example jeep steering stabilizer reviews, I still think it's worth it.

Or is there another one of these https://www.lightscoop.com/best-steering-stabilizer/
Now I definitely need specialist advice. I'm going to go to service.

What’s wrong with your SUV? It’s a Jeep BTW.

The steering damper does nothing that RC website says. That is marketing hype. Total bull.

And what do they mean by frequently using a ‘wench’? They can’t even spell right.

The steering damper won’t prevent DW bc it’s not the reason you have DW. Total foolishness

What’s wrong with your rig?
 
There a hundred threads on here where someone said a shop told them a steering damper would solve their DW and not one of them had it solved.
Never heard one person complain about uneven tire wear due to an inadequate steering damper. All the talk about making sure you have the correct damper and needing a guide to help you is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. They are nothing more than a 50:50 valve. Buy the cheapest one and go home. Further, RC makes THE WORST products period. They are cheap and the geometry sucks, yet I would run their damper bc there’s not a right or wrong choice with that part.

People in here are enthusiasts. We study this stuff because we enjoy it and make recommendations based on real world user experience, not marketing.

I've got OME. Not everyone likes the yellow. Either way, I wouldn't know the difference between the different stabilizers as mine was RE and worked fine. Changed it out after 60k on my lift and when I got the front end upgraded/rebuilt from RE to Currie. A little larger than the RE but still works great.
