Looking at Steering Stabilizers, What's Good?

[JeeperChris]

For a basic Steering Stabilizer I see two types, one with straight shafts and one with shock style ends. Is one better than the other for a basic CJ?

Any thoughts, recommendations, suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm looking at these two:

Why are you wanting a steering stabilizer?

BTW I have one like the second one.

My steering is not bad at all and i don't have the death wobble, it's just a small part that makes things a little smoother.

Ok thats why I was asking.

I still had the oem mount under the left front spring, so I bought a stock style stab. from Rancho. I did have to fab up a mount for the draglink side.
The stabilizer helps dampen road shock like hitting a pothole, a rock or anything that could jerk the wheel out of your hands. It won't help with steering slop or darting which CJs sometime have.
