OG earned those scratches and dings, but every bit of extra clearance is fab!

Sweet!

On Gladiator uses a diff bracket to mount. I recently added this on mine and not as much improvement as I had hoped.

Yeah the JT is a different platform, and in our limited experience with them (the aftermarket is still young), they seem better suited for desert than trails. Curious what feeling you had with the JT stock steering that prompted you to reach for this upgrade? Having specific problems?

Hello. I just got the Nexus 2.2 steering stabilizer installed today in my JKU with 285&70r17 tires. The feeeling of this stabilizer is very noticeable once you start driving but i guess this shock must be used with bigger tires up to 35", with my tire size this stabilizer is too firm, even with soft option you can´t feel a smooth feeling at the steering wheel. If i go with "firm" option, the steering wheel it feels very "sticky" like "heavv" when you are driving in the street, then i choosed medium and feels a bit better. I thought "soft" option would provide a better feeling but it feels almost firm, i don´t know if this is good or not but my impression today after driving the car around the neighbourhood. I guess i should run the 2.1 version for smaller tires. Best Regards

My understanding is that the 2.1 is fixed-rate somewhere around Medium of the 2.2, and that the only difference was the switchable adjustment. You might try soft vs. medium on a gravel or dirt road if you have one, you might still notice a difference. Even on 35's I find the firm to be VERY firm. Almost race-car like. I only use firm on long slogs of interstate. Thanks for watching!

Does the Teraflex Falcon 2.2 Fast adjust stablizer affect the return to centre compared to the standard ?

[@legervoile]

@@overlandcustomsaustralia hello! im running 285/70 tires, and i have the felling that only happens when i use firm option to drive in the city, it feels very firm and affects the return to the centre. I like to use medium for the city and firm for the highways.

With that chrome plated shaft exposed will this survive the salt road chemical elements in the NE. ? Curious if anyone has experience with the falcon in salty environment and is it holding up. . Thx.

[@OverbuiltAdventure]

Teraflex claims: “1,000-hour salt spray corrosion resistance test on all hardware”. There are many types of chrome plating, and a hard chrome is fairly common for piston rods of automotive shocks. You might reach out to Teraflex’s tech team for more info on what plating process they are using and customer experiences in the NE. We are located in the high desert of Central Oregon and they have only recently begun using chemical treatments in limited use (mag chloride, sodium chloride, and a corrosion inhibitor) on our roads so we can’t speak directly from experience here.

@@OverbuiltAdventure first thank you for your speedy reply snd insight. I will definitely reach out to teraflex to get more information on the corrosion side of things. Have a great weekend folks. 🇺🇸

Question, I have a 2014 JK, I recently upgraded d-link, track bar and steer stabilizer. I notice when driving on the freeway, my steering feels stiff and I'm constantly correcting my steering because it feels too stiff. Will this Falcon 2.2 change that?

[@0VRLNDR]

What size wheels and tires and what lift? Specifics of upgrades so far? Lot of variables involved.

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

I have 35" tires, 4.5" springs, recently upgraded my track arms to the Teraflex Alpine IR. I'll be changing my springs to the Teraflex Dual rated 4" springs, shocks and speed bumps. My front in, I upgraded the drag link and track bar to Currie. I also had to replace my Synergy ball joints and right now I have a Fox steering stabilizer. One my stock dranklink & trackbar joints wore out, I upgraded everything. After I did that, my Jeep has been super stiff to drive on the hwy. I'm constantly over steering (small corrections). The steering feels tight, which is good, but it seems to be too tight. I had OC Motorsports do the work, when I took it back, they said its normal and I need to drive the vehicle to break it in. Now, I'm at 1 year later and it still drives the same way. These mechanics are idiots.

[@0VRLNDR]

@@OffRoadOverlandCamping On Medium, the Falcon 2.2 closely matches stock steering stabilization. On High it is very stiff, almost like a sports car. On Soft, it's nice and floaty. Normally you'd only want to drop it down to Soft for off-road, but if it's a personal preference thing, there certainly wouldn't be anything wrong with it. If you haven't already, I'd have an alignment shop give you all of your measurements. It could be that the lift left some OEM parts in your suspension that are negatively impacting your steering. Control arms, etc.

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

@@0VRLNDR OK thanks for the heads up. I bet the shock they installed is for larger tires. My steers feels like a sports car, but a little tighter. I'm now have Rebel Off-Road do all of my work. I think I'll have them double check the front end to make sure OC Motorsport did the work correctly. I've had my Jeep aligned several times, so I know what is not the issue. I like the concept of Teraflex, everything I've read and the people I talk to that have their products love them. My old lift was AEV 4.5" HD Springs. After I broke a bracket, I wanted to try something new, so I switched to Teraflex to see the difference. I like keeping everything the same do I don't have a lot of mismatched parts.
