Thinking of replacing steering stabalizer

I went from stock, to BDS dual, to nothing, to a single Bilstein 5100 in the stock location. 34" heavy Nitto Trail Grapplers, had a 2" leveling kit for awhile. I honestly didn't notice a huge difference between any of them during normal driving, but the duals were stiffer on really bad roads. The single works fine now, but I blew out the passenger side inner tie rod end boot, not sure if that's just bad luck and 8 year old rubber or because I ran without any stabilizer for a solid 15k miles.
(hit a stump with the center bracket on the duals, bent it down to where it contacted the tie rod. pulled it and didn't notice a huge difference when the truck was a DD)

i have the bilstein 5100 setup all around. she runs fine. i just need to replace the rear sway bar cos of a wreck last year. she drives fine but i'm thinking of doing a bunch of things for peace of mind.
ope u resolved ur tie rod end prob. yikes. i've already replaced everything related to front end except the trac bar and the driver side sway bar end link. when i say almost everything, i meant it. lol.
