I actually think it's a good idea for oversized tires. Once in a while, I get an occasional shudder -- like I did when my Jeep stabilizer had gone bad. I looked underneath to make sure there wasn't one.
I don't think I have any play in the front suspension either. I think it's just the huge, oversize tires and their propensity for "grabbing" the road imperfections a bit more.
I wonder where it attaches?
