Not long and the OEM is undersized - NAPA sells a beefier replacement [Monroe I believe?]

Yes, that one. looks like the Monroe shipped to me is 32.21. The KYB is gas so I was hoping it's a little more durable than the Monroe. Time will tell.

Found a trailmaster one, also a dual shock option. Anyone have this kinda setup (trailmaster and or dual stabilizer)? If so is it worth the money?

If it feels loose it probably is - take it off and do a 'spring back' check by carefully compressing it.
Just wanted to point out that there will be no "spring back" in a steering stabilizer. Only gas charged shocks have the spring back. Think about it...the spring back effect would help you steer one way, and fight you the other. It would be very uneven, and possibly cause it to pull to one side.

I got my stabilizer and it's hydraulic not gas charged.
