TOY: Another steering Question



This is my first post so I'll let everyone know about my truck before I ask
my question...'83 short bed, 5.29's, lock-rights F/R, 3" springs + extended
shackles, RS9000's, Marlink tie-rod, 34" Swampers(going to 35's in 3 weeks),
and it's my daily driver...I drive maybe 2-5mi in a day.

So here's my question...After I installed my Marlink tie-rod I realized that
my steering stabilizer u-bolts wouldn't fit over the larger dia. rod, so I
figured that I could go without it.  Well after time my drag-link began
having excess play.  I've tighten the screws to compress the little springs
more but the steering wheel has a wobble feeling, kinda like a side to side
wobble.  The steering box feels tight so I think that without the stabilizer
the extra wobble from the taller tires are having a hay day with my
drag-link.

Should I put the stabilizer back on?  Or what?  Should I start thinking
about cross-over system?
