There's better ways to look into upgrading the steering if it's sloppy.
8.5 and up t-style conversion if 2000-2001
The rock solid ram thing for the column
A redhead or borgeson steering gearbox
HD steering componets conversion.
I know a lot of people who have giant tires and haven't run a stabilizer in years, guess it's all preference

I agree with Hambone. If you need a dual setup, you have other issues needing attention. All of my pickups for the last 34 years have been straight front axle setups with 4" lifts and 35-37" tires. Only my first truck had a dual setup and only because I couldn't figure out the wobble problems, which turned out to be bad steering box on a 79 K30 chevy.
Sure, they look great, but it's money better spent elsewhere making the truck easier to drive.

Same here. There's mixed opinions on the matter, so I wanted to hear from some people that knew what they were taking about lol. Some say that all they do is mask front end problems and put too much stress on the steering box while others say it prolongs the life of front end parts and tires. I checked my front end parts before I got my tires done so I know they're all fine, but I wanted to tighten up the steering a little. The dual kit is $101.90 for me. 
Better than the others that are $150.

Start a thread quick man! If these are worth it, I'm ordering them today.There's better ways to look into upgrading the steering if it's sloppy.

That's something I can do, but what I mainly wanted to know is if running dual stabilizers will truly prolong the life of front end parts and tires.

They will do nothing for prolonging steering parts.

I think Jig has the Bilstein 5100. All he had to do was flip the bracket and it fit it right in. I could be wrong on the model tho
Will it prolong life? Probably not. I imagine it could hide a wearing part, causing you to miss it and neglect fixing it. Then causing other stuff to break

So I guess a single stabalizer will do just as good? I kinda liked the look of the dual kit if it woulda actually helped.
