This ^^^ the basics.

Alignment is often overlooked, cheap to have done on these trucks and really often overlooked. Bad alignment will trash a new set of tires in short order as well.

If all shocks, bushings and joints are in good shape and alignment is in spec, a stabilizer is seldom needed. Every truck that Ive ever had that needed one usually had a different underlying problem that the stabilizer masked a little.

I haven't had to run one on the last 4 straight axles that Ive owned.
