I have the same set up as you do but with 37's. As stated above GET NEW SHOCKS!!! I had the Fabtech shocks that came with the lift on for about six months before they were totally shot. When I took them off to put new ones on the shock body and shaft separated from each other leaking fluid everywhere. Not just one sock, but both of them. Bilstein 5100 series are a great recommendation. As for a steering stabilizer, go for it. My 37's cause shimmy bad enough I would assume 38's would be as bad maybe worse. I would do a dual set up

Are the 5100 series a direct bolt in? everything i have been looking at only comes with a rod end at each end of the shock..
Nevermind.. just did some researching on bilstein site. looks like they are direct bolt in's.
Front part number for a 6" lift = BE5-6526-H5
Rear part number for a 4" lift (they dont have a 6" lift option) = BE5-6093-H5
retail pricing = $145 each for both part Numbers (doing ebay search's shows about $80/ea) does that seem right?
