Stabilizer cylinder

Anybody ran a stabilizer set up on their 2wd? If I hit a bun at 55 mph, the truck can get a bit hairy. Was wondering what I could for now to tighten it up. Next year I’m installing an IFS, so just need it to hang tight until then.

A bit hairy? In what way? Side to side, up/down? You don't get it at lower speeds? There's a lot of little things that can effect ride. Weak springs, bad shocks, bad tires and tire pressure. Bad kingpins, wheel bearings not tight enough, loose gearbox, bad draglink or tie-rod ends. Anything I missed?
