Blue Ox Tru-Center vs regular stabilizer

Before our trip back east this summer I installed a Bilstein stabilizer. It performed OK but I still experienced the "drift" on windy days, especially out on the "plains". While parked in CT I ordered and installed the tru-center before our trip back via the DELMARVA and I-40. Big difference in handling and adjusting for changing road conditions was a snap with the push of a button. It did not eliminate all drift in windy conditions but certainly made for a more stress free drive.
Installation was fast and easy. Hardest part was figuring out how to get the wires thru the firewall the easiest way and findinga good 12vlt source.

I installed the TruCenter and it works great. The install was not bad either. JR

The United States has a prevailing West to East air flow. When you traveled East it pushed your back end around. Going West you were like an arrow into the wind. Now if you believe that I have a special deal for you.

No......it seems when we travel east the wind is from the northeast and when I travel west its from the southwest, etc....

When I went Stablizer shopping, I picked the Tru-Center for the reasons the O/P listed (The ability to push a button instead of grab a hammer and wrench).

Works great.. I did have one problem. Mailed it in to Pender, NE, and they sent me a brand new and improved model. One of the improvements.. As it turns out.. I suggested to them it seems.
