I'm not saying you are wrong at all. What I'm saying is designing a huge drag link without making provisions for a stabilizer of adequate size is a poor design on their part and now you have to deal with it. Putting a small little stabilizer built for a Jeep Wrangler (prolly less than half our weight) is no going to help.
Please post some pics and I can help you more, but if you can't get that stabilizer to work, lift it 2" (try a Ready Lift or whatever 2" lift you want) and then a dual stabilizer set-up. That's going to be the cheapest solution and it will work well.

If I had a way to lift the truck, I would try myself.

In the photo of your truck, it appears to have room. I think you should talk to another shop or try what suggested for yourself. I am out of ideas, but a small stabilizer is not going to stabilize the load of this heavy of a truck.

A stabilizer is only going to minimize the impact of either bump steer or death wobble, not stop it.
If you fix the cause of both, you should be able to pull the stabilizer off and be fine... so I think in the macguy's case, if the drag link is the cause for death wobble (and often it is) and that is fixed, he should be fine with his smaller stabilizer.
If the new drag link doesn't fix it, agree that a bigger stabilizer would definitely help.

While I agree with what you started, I will add that a steering stabilizer isn't needed often. However if conditions on or off-road tax the components on the truck, the stabilizer is there to assist and minimize the impact to the driver and the components. So having a small one on there could possibly cause some premature wear...it's iffy, no doubt. I just know if the front end is shaking, I want as much help as I can get to stop it.
