Default Strut bars
I have a 1999 996 cab. Would you recommend installing strut bars to stiffen up the chassi (considering it's a flabby cab) and if you do, which ones do you recommend?

It already has fantatic one's. You just can't see them. If anything, you can put the RoWM030 suspension (new shocks/springs/sways) to help with the ride.

If anything, with a cab, the flex is even more in the middle not the ends. What you need is torsional rigidity. Same case with my Boxster

Have't seen anything sold to fix mid section torsion, like x-shaped bars etc.
If anybody knows I'm interested.

About the only thing you can do is put in a full cage--but not practical for the street.
