Yep, thats the first mod he should have made to that truck. Sleeves, center link, and pitman arm brace.

Wont keep you from getting stuck but they will certainly keep you from tearing things up.

What did you expect from a 7200lb truck? It IS a brick. Like Logan says, get either a 4 or 6 inch lift if will help dramatically.

if you want to pull it though, i would buy a procomp, they are pretty cheap, good priced and are the right lift to pull with, you dont need the aftermarket centerlink with that lift cause they got a 50 pound X steering drop/brace that they use.....superlift has the same type of lift, id have to see how much they are though......its a bracket lift, just dont plan on putting your truck back stock.......EVER......

i have put a fabtech on, took it off, and put a procomp on in its place......

I REALLY like the look of the new Rize systems but they are so new that there's really no reliability data on them yet. Not sure what method they use on the steering system though.
