Default Steering stabilizer

Hey guys I have an 06 fx4 with a 2.5" leveling kit and a 3" block in the rear and on 33" nitto trail grapplers. My problem is that when I hit a bump the steering wheel jerks either to the left or right. This happens all the time since I put the tires on. Should I go with a steering stabilizer? All the balljoints are brand new.

Yeah. Had an alignment. Do the stabilizers hook up to the stock equipment though?

I wouldnt bother getting them with only 33's. They will probably do more harm to your truck like Knezat said. They have a tendency to break the tie rod jam nut. Then you will habe to replace that whole assembly. That is if you dont crash your truck first when it breaks on you. Most people get them with a 6" lift or more and 37's or higher. You shouldnt even need them then.
