If nothing is wrong with your stock one, no.

The stock stabilizer is fine. Its funny how many people swap them out for no reason at all.

Yep. Unless the stocker is leaking or damaged, no need to replace it. You will see no benefit from it..

Make sure you relocate it out of harms way so you don't bash it on the rocks. Don't know if your RK kit provides for that. If not, look at the simple bracket at jeepswag.com.

Only benefit i can think of is longer life. My 5100 series should last the life of the jeep. Ive changed stockers on f350/450's regularly. They just dont last like a good quality stabilizer. My fleet is running 35/37/38" tires and they leak or collapse often. High speed forest roads, big tires and heavy hauling likely the cause. I felt a notable difference is drive quality over my oem stabilizer on 35".

Thanks for the info, I'll keep this in mind also.
