Default New Steering Stabilizer?

Put a Rough Country 4 inch lift on last summer. Been real happy with it so far. But i do have steering issues when i brake. Wanting to pull to the left. Not really a big deal, but know that it's not right. Is this a steering stabilizer problem, because I'm still running the stock stabilizer. Also lately, it seems to kinda dart around on the freeway. If I look away for a second it seems to be heading out of my lane. Doesn't really want to go straight. Would a steering stabilizer fix either one of these problems, and if so, what's a decent one?

Thanks for the help.

Stabilizer will not fix the problem you need an alignment, it could be a combo of bad toe and the front axle not being centered I could be wrong but I had the same issue in the past and that fixed my prob

Check this one in the Suspension FAQ's:

Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?

Your lift came with Cam Bolts? If you've had it a while and the problems are just showing up now, it could be that the Cams are slipping, and your caster is too low.

You could also look through this one:
