Steering stablizer question ?
I want to replace my steering stablizer on my 89 4tunner it has a 4inch lift kit and 33x12.5x15 MUDs on it , so my question is should I replace it with an oem factory Toyota , or should get an aftermarket one like ome or skyjacker, rancho ? , I am asking because of the lift kit and bigger tires I'm running , not sure if the oem one is good enough even when it's new ??

OME version is much larger than stock. I think OME shocks in general have a stiffer dampening rate than other companies, so it's one of the reasons their stabilizer is highly regarded. i would also make sure your idler arm/bushings are still happy since IIRC that's the next thing that takes a lot of force when the stabilizer is wearing out.
I installed my OME stabilizer at the same time I repaired my idler and repacked my wheel bearings and replaced my shocks and leafs - it was like a night and day difference for on-road handling. can only imagine it would be like new if i did the balljoints and tie rod ends at the same time.
