Main Gear Leg Stiffeners

Howdy Ya?ll. Just curious to see how many folks are out there that never installed main gear leg stiffeners on their RV-9A?s and never had problem with shimmy. I?m at the point of installing or not on a new build and wondering if I should just do it or roll the dice in the hope that its not needed. Thank you.
 
I added them 2 yrs later. I think they help to dampen the gear somewhat. Could I have lived without them, yes. If you feel vibration in the mains, check the wheel balance firstly.
