New steering stabilizer

I currently have the single Rancho steering stabilizer and looking to purchase a new dual set-up. I see that a lot of guys like the ICON dual steering stabilizer which I think I will purchase but what is a great shock to use. Should I go with the ICON shocks, Bilsteins, Fox? Are the ICON signature series shocks nitrogen charged or gas and does it matter? They look like a great shock to use. Which ones do you guys recommend. Thanks for your help.

ICONS...they are nitrogen and make one specifically made for the stabalizers. You cant just put a regular shock on there.

I like the Icons as they have a clear coating to protect the finish....especially hanging down low on the front end.

Nitrogen charged is the only way to do, IMO.
Stock stabilizer goes in the trash.

One thing about ICON is their prices are the same everywhere. So definitely go with TruckToyz, their customer service cant be beaten.

Thanks DCSpecial.

I'm going to go ahead and purchase them from TruckToyz and get them. ARe they simple to install or need any special tools and I have heard you should take the stock one off. I know there are a lot of write ups on this topic. I'll just save the original one. Cant wait to get them and install them.

Thanks for the order, Trent

Very easy to install. All the hardware is included, instructions are pretty well done.

Here's some pics of it on my 07:
