Default steering stabilzer?

any one running a steering stabilzer on a leveled truck? fabtec makes a kit for thier lift, but it looks like it could mount up to a oem truck because it bolts to all oem parts. any one have anything...got a shimmy in my wheel and all front end parts were replaced or checked good, tires rotated, brakes changed, balanced tires, ect, and just want to run a kit to get the shimmy under control. im running 295/75r17 with mickey thompson sidebiters so i feel confident the fabtech kit will fit.

any input?

There are a few people running the fabtech ones with different lifts . I think that old member vanoford only had a body lift and he put them on.

I'm just afraid of buying it and putting it on to find I need a 2500 dollar lift. I was also looking to see if any one has done a diy type kit.
