I like the looks, but more to steady the steering a bit more.
Where did you get the rough country set at? and how was it mounted?
If I had a straight axle it would be simple, but these ttb throw me for a loop.

The best way to steady the steering is to properly maintain the stock setup. Worn ball joints, tie rod ends, steering box, swing arm bushings, radius arm bushings and wheel bearings are all very common on older trucks, and they all wreak havoc on good steering. Fixing whatever of that needs fixing will likely cost more than just slapping a steering stabilizer on it, but it'll actually fix the problem rather than MAYBE (but probably not) just masking it.
A steering stabilizer is really only useful for absorbing the shock of a high speed, high leverage impact, like hitting a big pot hole or rock when driving fast, especially with big tires.

I already did ball joints and new wheel bearings.
I got to looking, I think I'll change out the inner and outer tie rods and maybe install some radius arm bushings too.
But still will get a steering stabilizer in due time.
