I'd like to know what people think about this too. I'm on my 3rd teraflex SS

 

I have a FOX on all three JK's.. they have never given me a problem.

 

Sorry for the long answer to a short question, but this may give someone some ideas...

I put a Fox stabilizer on my jeep after taco-ing the stock on on the rocks. I called Poly Performance and was going to buy their own brand stabilizer, but they were out of stock. I bought the Fox and the tie rod clamp since I wasn't sure the stock clamp would work with the much larger diameter Fox. PP called back again and said the clamps were out of stock too. I got the hydro-assist version of the clamp which doesn't have the tapped hole, but comes with 2 weld-on tabs. The tabs it comes with have the wrong size hole for a stabilizer, so PP threw in 2 more tabs with the right hole.

I didn't want to mount a new stabilizer in the stock location since that is what destroyed the stock one in the first place.

Since I have the Currie lift, the part of the track bar bracket mounts in the same place the PP double shear stabilizer relocation bracket would mount, so that wouldn't have worked.

I ended up removing the Currie bracket and using a transfer punch set and drill press to duplicate the holes on some 1/4" plate, leaving room at the top passenger corner of the new plate for a friend to weld the tabs on in roughly the same location as the PP relocation bracket.

I drilled and tapped the tie rod clamp for a grade 8 bolt, the same as the out-of-stock clamp would have been.

The whole setup runs great, and I did not have to lower the pressure in the stabilizer as some have mentioned. The road feel is not to sensitive, but not too dead either. Its just right. This is probably the best setup without going to hydro assist.

In the end, PP had some issues with stock, and later with shipping, but they called a few times to make sure everything would work, and I got everything done in time for my road trip.

to Poly Performance. I'd definitely shop with them again. The Fox stabilizer is $$$ but it looks and feels like a quality product and it works well on my Jeep.

I'm looking at buying a fox also from Poly... But its only until I get the Red Neck Ram steering.

I'm wondering if a dual set up would be better for now. I'm running 40's.

 

I'm surprised you're not looking at a hydro assist setup instead.

 

FWIW I personally have never heard a bad thing about Fox. Odd thing is that I am still on my stock stabilizer for 3 years. Sorry to hear your bad luck.

 

it is very pretty :innocent:

i have a teraflex with the woods flip kit no problems, just get it out of the stock location

 

I'd like to go to hydro assist..But I don't have that much cash to waste..lol

I'm with the stabilizer till then...

 

I went thru 5, maybe 6, stabilizers before I got the Fox and the Poly bracket and have not had any issues since.

 

My Teraflex started leaking too, Are the shocks having this problem as well?

Then it got bent on the trail, in a pinch, I bought a Pro Comp.

Fox will have to wait for next time.

 

Thanks for the replies. I guess I will give fox a try. If any vender see this and have one in stock Along with the bracket, please send me a pm.

 

If you are bashing your other stabilizers on rocks, you will do the same with the Fox. As others have said, get the woods relocate bracket and poly tie rod bracket to mount that baby higher.

I broke a stock and a TF stabilizer before I got the woods kit. After I got the woods kit, I installed the Fox stabilizer and ended up breaking that too at Johnson Valley. I got another Teraflex stabilizer and that worked great till I got my Hydro Assist. Even my PSC ram took a few big hits on the Rubicon last week, but seems to laugh them off.

I consider stabilizers an item that will eventually break. FWIW, the FOX stabilizer performed no better than the TF one - they both worked and felt exactly the same. I would not worry about dropping the money on the FOX, unless you want to look cool at the mall (which is an important consideration)

 

I thought the poly bracket will relocate it. And I rather not have to buy the same product 3 times. Even my rear pass TF shock is leaking now. So I have to replace it now also. I will pay the $ if I don't have to keep replacing shocks. And yes it is my fault on the 2nd TF stabilizer cause I didn't have it relocated. I'm gonna ditch all my TF shocks. Maybe all fox or blistin however u spell it.

 

I just upgraded my lift to the Rock Krawler 5.5" Triple Threat Long-Arm Kit, and their RK HD Tie-Rod, and I bought the Fox SS w/ bracket, along with that massive tie-rod clamp from Poly.

Unfortunately, the big tie-rod clamp doesn't fit the new, huge, RK Tie-Rod, so I can't mount it just yet. Does anyone have any thoughts here on how to get a clamp big enough?

OP: Sorry for the temporary, but related thread hi-jack.

That was the deciding factor why I went with the Poly tie-rod. I've not yet seen a clam-shell clamp that fits the RK.

Running the Woods relocation bracket/ Poly Performance stabilizer/ Poly Performance tie-rod/ Poly Performance clam-shell clamp. Couldn't be happier, although I did charge the stabilizer with nitrogen instead of air- to minimize corrosion on the inside of the valve assembly.

I will say that when I was running without any stabilizer at all for a couple of weeks- that you could hardly even tell that there was nothing down there. On big bumps- maybe a little more side-to-side movement, but barely noticeable. I think this is a testament to having suspension geometry set up correctly- idk.
