Arrow Which Steering Stabilizer

I need to replace my tie rod ends inner and outer left and right as well as the steering stabilizer. Since I run 33"s I thought I'd put on a dual stabilizer. My question is do I go with parallel or inline, and what brand and why for both questions. Thank for all the help in advance, I gotta say it's pretty cool to get advice from people who are like minded with more experience.

Just go with a stock replacement..... don't really need dual for 33's. They are all about the same....

Save up some more, and get gears to go with those 35's as well. Either that, or start setting money aside for trans rebuild.

ok, 33s not too bad on stock tranny? 35s be better to replace gears. I know I wanna eventually end up with a 5" suspension lift, maybe a 2" or 3" body lift with it, 35 x 12.5 tires on 17" rims. I wanna work up to it slowly (because of money) and keep my long range goal in mind. So back to my original question in line or parrallel steering stabilizers. I think I like the way the in line look the best.

If you really wanna go with the duals, and you plan on taking your truck off-road, go with the one that keeps the stabilizers up out of harms way. They really don't take to well to be used as skid plates.

So that would be the inline I take it. I was looking at one made by rough country for $90. but they didn't have a pic online so I could get a good look at it. I think it mounts to the shaft somewhere in the center with a steel plate.

The inline guys would probably be easiest to install in such a manner that they wouldn't be the lowest point on the axle...... check other sites for the same part, someone has got to have pics up. Top Gunz Customs should have some....
