    Any good recommendations for a good steering stabilizer? Replaced the leafs and shocks on Saturday and my friend that was helping pointed out that this one was leaking.

    Judging by the pic, you have stock manual steering, and not-too-big tires.
    I'd just get a stock replacement type one like you have on there now. No need for a giant heavy duty one.

    It's an aftermarket steering stabilizer.

    You should not need one if the front end and steering parts are in good condition and adjusted.

    Just get whatever replacement you like... or remove it and see if you really need it.

    Agreed, if everything is fine a steering stabilizer shouldn't be required, & if everything isn't fine then it shouldn't be "patched over" by adding a stabilizer.

    However a stabilizer will extend the liftime of your steering components as it reduces shock load from bumps/potholes you may meet at speed on highways, something the Ross box setup was never designed to do.
