I was doing a bit of research to compare the Safe-T-Plus to the Blue Ox Tru Center Steering Stabilizer. I called Blue Ox to learn more about their product and found out that they are no longer going to offer suspension improvement products (True Center, Trac bars, front/rear sway bars). They said they would still have part replacements, but only for 3 years. They will focus on towing products like tow bars and base plates. I have to admit that surprised me. Since support is going to drop off in a few years, the Safe-T-Plus appears to be the way to go.
I thought others would be interested in this info. Has anyone else heard this? Maybe this has been well known for some time and it was just news to me?

A total guess on my part, but I am thinking that Blue Ox did not manufacture their steering and suspension parts. Making tow bars and base plates requires little more than a press brake, welders, plasma cutters and punches. Making sway bars requires some very specialized equipment. (steering stabilizers also do, and totally different stuff!) In todays market, they probably did not have enough room to mark up sourced parts and still make money.
They may only be stocking replacement parts for 3 years, but the wear/replacement items for sway and track bars are somewhat standard, especially in the aftermarket. As far as the steering stabilizer, it really has no wear items beyond the mounting hardware (also standard), so not a lot of worry there.
