Is a steering stabilizer a must for a 4.5" suspension lift?

[brkncly]

I will be installing an Icon 4.5" lift on my '08 F-350 and running stock 20" wheels on 35" tires. Is a steering stabilizer a must? If so I'd be installing the Icon Dual Steel Stabilizer Kit. Thank you!

No not for a 35" tire as it is only about an inch larger than stock tires

Stabelizers aren't required, but they will make the wheel and cruising smoother. The stabelizers will help to diminish and control any small vibrations you experience in the road as well as controling pulling when hitting bumps or divets in the road.

I think its personal preference. I found it wasn't as easy to turn when it came to parking situations. Didn't limit the turning but it slowed it down. Mind you I had 40x13.5x22/37x13.5x22 when my 08 was lifted.

I noticed it helped a little to stiffen up the front steering on the highway with big tires. Not enough to keep it on. I took it off after 2 weeks.
