Question '96 Explorer 5th shock

My 1996 Explorer XLT 4.0L has a 5th shock going from the rear axle housing to the frame. I am assuming this is a stabilizer shock. I can't seem to find this in any auto parts stores. I am replacing the other 4 shocks and would like to replace the 5th one too. Does anyone know exactly what this shock is for and how would I go about finding the right replacement one.

Monroe has a replacement. It should be SC2958. Cost is about $28 plus shipping from several sites.
