Default Doing 4.5 inch lift

About to purchase a 4.5inch rough country lift kit and I am wondering if I should buy a pitman arm drop or how important that is? I am also wondering if I should buy a steering stabilizer.
thanks
I am going to be running 33's most likely

I just installed a 4.5" from rustys with 32. i did not put a drop pitman arm on it but did install a new SS. picked up a heavy duty moog SS from advanced for 75 and have not had any issues with it. i would recommend a new HD SS if you are going to run the 33's
