Fox 2.0 TS Performance Steering Stabilizer for 2021 Jeep Gladiator
The item arrived well. No damages. As far as installation, it was easy. The package had written instructions and pictures to follow. Or, you can watch on YouTube; there are many. It took me about 30 minutes to install.As for fitment, it fit perfectly on my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland. No issues at all. Bracket and holes lined up correctly.As for performance, I don't know yet. My stock steering stabilizer was working fine. I upgraded to the Fox 2.0 TS performance steering stabilizer because it was recommended for vehicle that has large tires and lifted. My Gladiator is lifted and runs on 37x13.5xr20; I bought it used this way. Previous owner didnt upgrade the stabilizer so I figure I should upgrade just to get a peace of mind.

Helped with “Death Wobble” along with other checks/adjustments. Highly recommend this product
2020 Gladiator started getting “Death Wobble” more frequently so I got this to help. Took to local mechanic for install as well as fix any tire balance, wheel alignment, and all linkage torgue checks. This and everything else fixed the issue and steering feels more solid.

You don't need to drill the holes or bend the bracket, just turn it with your hand.
Effortless steering, matches the Fox shocks, bling-bling!Installation Tips for 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport:Install the new axle bracket to the new steering stabilizer, use red LT.Jack up driver side to move the track bar away from the axle bracket bolts.Remove the three 13mm bracket bolts.Remove the 18mm right steering knuckle bolt.Install the new steering stabilizer axle bracket side first. Start the two top bolts, then start the third bottom bolt into the axle. If the bracket doesn't line up you can twist the bracket left and right and it will fit. The axle bracket mount pivots, you just have to pull hard. You don't need to drill the holes or bend the bracket, just turn it with your hand.Torque the three bolts to 27ftlb.If your Jeep has the square right steering knuckle 18mm bolt, reuse the OEM 18mm steering stabilizer bolt from the axle side. Then you can order the correct bolt later and not have to wait.

Check your bolt!
This is a great upgrade to a Gladiator.That said, you need to see what your truck's stock stabilizer bolt looks like. Mopar/FCA/JEEP made a mid year change to an elongated/from an elongated carriage bolt. The stabilizer installed on the elongated jeeps has a larger diameter bolt hole to accomodate the bolt. The shorter carriage bolt only engages in the mounting bracket, so the stabilizer bolt hole is smaller. This Fox TS unit is not compatible with the elongated neck bolt. You can order the different bolt from various sources. Just plan for that, if it applies to you. It is a real easy check, just unbolt the current stabilizer on the wheel side, youll see the carriage bolt. If yours is elongated, like mine was, then order the bolt. Took two weeks to get it.The feel of the steering is not dramatically different on road. Off road, it is much smoother.

Hours I will never get back
So I did a fair amount of research and watched a video about the three fox stabilizer options for the Gladiator. 1st, it was supposed to be plug and play using the OEM hardware. Not the case. The bolt by the tire is a square fitting which does not fit through the Fox stabilizer. New lag bolt needed which I went and picked up. Next issue, the new mounting brackets holes were not properly aligned. Making mounting it virtually impossible. I’ll try again tomorrow but what should have been a 1/2 hour job turned into a 3hr $—t show. Disappointed Fox. This was on my Gladiator, I have a JK with Fox Reservoir 2.0 that I’ve bees happy with. Making me rethink my next purchase…

💯 improvement.
This device has absolutely improved my steering stiffness and resolved drifting after a 2.5” lift and 35” tires. It provided a great reduction in bump steer as well, but don’t expect it to correct improper geometry caused by a cheap lift. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with a proper jeep lift.

If you have a Jeep JT or JL, BUY THIS!!! It's worth every penny!
I purchased and installed this on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, and I must say, it was truly night & day difference from the factory stabilizer. I have a 2.5" lift and 37x13.50 tires on 20x10 wheels, and it handles the bumps in the roads without hardly any feeling in the wheel anymore, and the Jeep no longer wanders all over the road like it did before, and it longer follows the ruts in the road, it stays planted where you keep the tires pointed. It also stiffened up the steering wheel feeling while driving down the road, and I REALLY like that aspect, since I come from a high-performance background. I do not like light/easy steering on vehicles. I like to feel like I am in 100% control over the vehicle while underway and feel the steering. This really made a HUGE difference over stock. I honestly couldn't believe how much of a difference just a steering stabilizer made. The factory one must not be doing ANYTHING under there. Bottom line... If you have a Jeep JT or JL and you have light/wandering steering issues, I HIGHLY recommend spending the money on this! It is truly night & day difference.
