With tires that big, don't dry steer the system if you want parts to last. (Dry steering is turning the steering wheel when the wheels aren't moving)
If you're turning the wheel with your foot firmly on the brake, you're asking to wear components out fast.

I had a '11 that developed DW, fought the problem, did alignments, tire changes, track bar. Steering was always great, but boy, DW would suddenly appear and scare the crap outta me. My partner at the time said, after DW on the way home from a trip in CO, said she would never ride with me and her kids if I didn't fix it.
Dual stabilizers and a third new stabilizer in the OEM fixed it. Only recurred after 100k miles when two of the three stabilizers leaked out.
Truck drove fantastic for 175k miles, normal tire wear, ran the crap outta that thing on dirt roads and all over the western us.
On my new '18, never had DW but at 10k miles installed dual stabilizers. IMHO, completely solves the DW problem. Y'all can pontificate all you want, but the Dual system plus a good stabilizer in OEM positions solves DW for me. Good luck.
