I have/had a lot of miles on my 48 and ran without them for a long time. From experience I can well say that they help keep the front end sheetmetal aligned and also help some with keeping the squeaks down by stabilizing the fenders.

I'm not familiar enough with that particular aftermarket core support except to say that it does look interesting from a lot of standpoints and I may need to run one before I am done due to a couple of mods I have planned.

I won't go as far as saying a guy has to run those rods on his truck but I for sure won't run a truck without them again.
