    I would doubt it. A stabiliser won't make a unstable outfit stable or anymore safe.

    Passive frictional or viscous stabilisers should never be combined because they would double the resistance forces imparted into the towbar. Such an increase will never have been taken into account in the design and the development of the towbar itself, or of the vehicle underbody structure for that matter too. This could result in premature failure of one or other of these components.

    If combining stabilisers is desired, then one should only combine a passive one with an active (electronic) one.
