I used the stock "situation." But the Rancho kit comes with a compression bolt that mounts to the idler arm. All you need to pull the stabilizer off the idler arm is a idler/pitman puller. You can get one for about $15 or you can use some of the universal pullers.
With puller in hand it took about about the same amount of time to replace as a shock and is just as easy.
But to answer your question more directly, there is no need for the universal mounting kit.
