Has your relay rod (center link)* been lowered? Has the stock mounting bracket been cut off of the frame?
If the answer to these questions is no, then a stock steering stabilizer could be used with the addition of a new relay rod (center link) and a stabilizer. Otherwise you would have to do something aftermarket.
I do think it would help.
*The relay rod (center link) is the shaft supported by the idler arm and pitman arm. It connects the two outer tie rods.

The trailmaster kit doesn't lower the center link. The steering stabilizer is basically a shock mounted sideways for your steering so it dampens sudden movements, and in this case the part I listed has dual shocks.
Trailmaster sells a dual steering stabilizer kit, and if trailmaster makes it I would say it should work with the TM lift.
Quickbiker has the trailmaster SS I am pretty sure
Here at www.tyres1.com they sell the trailmaster dual SS as an accessory with the 5" lift
Accessories:
