I bought one used off Craigslist and installed it after I tore up my single stabilizer in a snow drift. I have since gone back to the single stabilizer. I noticed no difference, and prefer the single since it tucks up a little better. I think I would tear the dual one up pretty easy. With 33" tires (or 285's), there really is no need for it. I may put mine back on after I go to 35's if I think I need it.

On the install of the dual stab kit? Well, it was mostly straight forward, though the install instructions from Skyjacker kinda suck. I had to reverse the direction of the tie rod brackets (to keep the shock from hitting my tire at full lock), and also had to connect one to the drag link end on the passenger side (instead of the tie rod end as the instruction indicates). There was just no way it would work with the instructions written the way they were without making these changes. The picture in the instructions looks like a truck with a lot of lift, so the angles of the tie rod and the drag link is different. I think if I were to do it again, i might get one from another comapny. I've read a lot of complaints about the Skyjacker dual kit. Other kits seem to install with no issues.
