Steering stabilizers only mask a problem. A proper front end does not require a steering stabilizer at all. My 99 doesn't now, or ever come factory with one.

your 99 also doesnt have coils, but a steering stabilizer will infact mask a problem but can help control steering when bad things like this happen. track bar is #1, tires beling balanced, alignment, and ensure tie rods and ball joints are not worn out

Coilovers have nothing to do with steering geometry as far as needing a stabilizer is concerned.

sorry, coils lol, but anyways the 05+ with the front coil sprung suspension is more prone to death wobble because the track bar is responsible for keeping the axle centered under the truck during suspension cycles instead of having two leaf springs that keep everything where its supposed to be

So whats the Fix before we die driving this thing.... I love my truck but this is the only issue I have. I changed all shocks with Rancho 5000 and alinment was done even tho is still pulls to the left.... Took it to different place and still pulls to the left.. Dont know what to do next

If it were me, (I have a leaf spring '04) I would be looking for a track bar with urethane bushings for starters, 2nd I would be looking REAL CLOSE at my steering box for excessive play, last balljoints and tie rod ends.
9 times out of ten on large trucks it's a worn steering box and worn components like tie rods, and king pins.
