Default Torsion key lift and steering stabilizer

I just had a Readylift torsion key lift and Toyo M/T 33X12.5X 20's installed. The truck looks awesome now and sits how a 4x4 should. However I have noticed that the front end seems to be bouncy now and that the steering seems very touchy especially over any kind of bumpy pavement. There is also a knocking noise coming from the suspension when going over bumps.
Would a steering stablilzer smooth out the touchy steering? Is the knocking sound coming from my shocks that might be maxed out now? Has anyone else encountered these problems after a torsion key lift? What brand shocks and steering stabilizer would you recommend?

The knocking noise is the shocks topping out but I also have the steering problem. Like going over quick bumps in the freeway it feels like the steering wheel is all loose.
