Steering Stabilizer is more for big tires then your lift, what size tires are you thinking?

Have you thought about having a shop do your lift? They will align and do a simple lift pretty cheap.

oh I won't do the lift myself. I'd be too nervous to risk that. For now I'll just stick with my 35" x 12.5" Toyos...but I would probably go to 38" eventually.

Most budget lift places like les shuab will want you to buy the lift there, so purchasing it upfront might lesson the pool of people willing to do the lift. Many times they will run specials, at least down here in the states it's that way. 4 wheel drive stores especially run lift specials all the time. They really have smoking deals on suspension lifts many times throughout the year. I wouldn't buy the lift online unless I was doing it myself. With 37 and up size tires I would run a stabilizer. Your truck will have more travel, depending on how you drive there is wear on tear on axles and ball joints and stuff.

Yeah you'll probably get a better deal buying it from the shop that'll install it. Check out Zone. They're affordable and it's a great quality set up. Also don't buy anything from the US, you'll pay an extra 35% because of exchange right now!

99% sure you cant run a steering stabilizer on a A arm front suspension, only solid axles.
