That second one is not your truck.
Glad to see that you went with the new pitman arm too.

The pitman arm has a diff angle as some of our boys found out on a Baja trip Using the original arm will allow the drag link stud to hit the other tube during compression of the suspension.
The Carli stabilizer for the stock mounting location on the new style steering requires no brackets..........it simply bolts on in the oe position with the oe hardware

Yes Carli's stabilizer does mount that way, but you must tell them what steering linkage you have. The 08 vs the pre 08 stabilizer is different.

Defiant
Just wondering what was wrong with the defiant products? I was looking at their steering products.

The Diff guard was to bulky and The steering stabilizers are an old design shock-non IFP.
I now have a diff guard that protects as well ,is smaller and I do not loose any ground clearance which is important to me even running 37's

I have not seen that yet so thanks! I like the idea of no toe changes with different loads in the truck. Are these simply oem rods?
