I would go to that dual steering stabilizer, since you are running 8" of lift I'm guessing you are running some pretty serious tires. The dual steering stabilizer might help you tame bump steer problems a bit. However, depending on how big your tires are, you might have to live with a certain amount of bump steer, in my experience that has been one of the consequences of big tires. Good Luck!

Do you have a dropped pittman arm? If its the one like comes with a 6 inch lift, I can guess why it has bump steer. A steering stabalizer wont fix steering geometry. You made need some custom bent steering linkage or some sort of crossover steering setup like the 12 inch lifts use.

351slug nailed it. You can change stabilizers to any configuration you can dream up, and it won't help that problem. Your geometry is off, and until you fix that, it WILL bump steer.
Your best bet for driveability is crossover steering.
