Default Steering Stabalizer with 5'' RC Lift?
Would a steering stabilizer be needed if I get the 4-5'' Rough Country lift and run 315/70/17s?

Needed, not necessarily. But it would help with bump steer with larger tires.

I bought one when I bought my leveling kit and yes it actually was a noticeable difference, worth the $50 I paid for it.

I put a skyjacker dual stabilizer on with my RC lift. I feel it helped with bump steer. Installed it 5,000 miles after lift so had some experience with the lift before and after the stabilizer.
