I bought one anyway on my 2" susp and noticed a pretty decent difference...

IMO it helped a lot and the feel is awesome but that's just me

I went from stock 235's to 32" x 11" on 10" rims & found I need to add a stabilizer on the front because a few potholes or uneven roads & the truck wants to FO in it's own direction lol. Yes it's aligned, just that the tires are a bit much for the stock steering.

In order to mount the stablizer shock on a vehicle that didnt come with one stock you have to get a center link that has the hole for it , Right ?

They make kits that bolt on using u-bolts.

Or weld on brackets, they may have them or fab one up. You have to measure the travel that you'll need in the stabilizer or you'll cut your turning radious down because the shock (stabilizer) will bottom out at compression or extension.
