Default steering stabilizer question

i have a 4.5" lift and need a new steering stabilizer, im looking to get a skyjacker hydro 7000 but are there certain stabilizers for lifts or will this one be fine?

Should be fine. How much is it? You can get an RE rxt9000 for 49.99, I think.

You don't need one if your geometry is correct.
Save your cash.

x2 Your track bar must run parallel to your tie-rod. Steering Stabilizers are just a band-aid from the manufacturer
