Dual steering stabilizers

I know I am about to open Pandora's Box but just curious who is running a dual steering stabilizer setup on their Rig. Before I get a bunch of, if you had a proper setup you wouldn't need a stabilizer jabs, I know this. Just asking the question, no bashing. Just curious how much of a difference one makes.

The only difference is that it makes it stiffer to steer and harder on the steering box. There is no advantage what so ever... but it may look cool to some.
The big downside is it can mask a lot of hidden component issues.

The concept began when stiffer steering stabilizers would push the steering curve the other way. So you're driving along and the Jeep would drive or pull to one side because the steering stabilizer would push it over there. It's like the next fix for that was to add another pushing the other way to make it equal again.. I suppose the thought is decent, but all it does is hide all the other issues the Jeep really has - but people think it's fixed because it drives better for awhile. Then when the steering stabilizers are beat to heck again, they just buy more.

I looked at a lot of setups and ultimately bought a Teraflex Falcon because I liked the no push/no pull design with free flowing rod.

I think the reason the SS exists at all on the Jeep is due to the weak OEM suspension components (including ball joints) that degrade quickly with off road use. Once those are replaced with high quality aftermarket parts the SS does hardly anything. - If I’m cornering and hit a big bump just the right way I can tell when I have the SS on. I have a fox IFP SS and I can barely tell any difference with it on or off. - That was with a new SS. Jeep drives better than it ever did lifted 3.5” with 37s.

Dual stabilizers have been around for ever. They started back when trucks had big bias tires and no way to balance them.
I personally think someone just decided since the setups were already there for trucks why not put in Jeeps too.
The push pull is only available in a couple set ups but there are also the set ups that both shocks come from the same direction.
