Not a bad idea. Would think it would take a double shock.... only in that not sure they make them that big. Maybe check to see if they make after market bolt ons for big rigs Kodiaks etc.

Think I will make one custom. Wonder if the shocks are significantly different from a standard axle shock.

Two factors:
Travel (rebound and compression) and dampening (ie: valving, etc to exert the proper force needed).
You'd need to do some cipherin'
(don't for get to carry your naughts)

Nothing really new, but a good read here (especially for those not fully familiar with the concept):

What goal are you after? I'm not trying to keep you from trying it, but if you think yours needs it, there may be something wrong with your steering. I know mine is 100% not in need of a steering stabilizer, even when offroad.

Massively agree. Check slop in components etc. first.
There is another factor though.... the size of the pilot..... a smaller less physical person will get tossed around more by the steering wheel while driving even if the steering is good. Steering stabilizer helps in this scenario.
