Yes the bumper, mounts & braces stiffen up the frame.
The sway bar bolts go thru a crossmember, frame brackets & also help greatly stiffen up the frt frame corners.
If you doubt me pull the bumper, brackets & sway bar mounts off.
Have someone start the truck & work the steering back & forth...
1 do the weld on kit !
2 do the bolt in brace !
3 keep steer box bolts tight !
4 keep all bumper bracket bolts tight
5 if you remove the sway bar, put the bolts back in.
A LOT of the problems are caused by removing the frt bumper angled brackets, sway bar bolts & not checking the steer box bolts.
