Default Balanced Stab

A friend and I have been talking about balancing the stab on our Trim F-86's.
I know it's a good idea, but is it really necessary?
These are 17 lb turbine powered.
What have you guys already flying the Trim F-86 experienced?
It would take a fair amount of weight to do it, and it's tail heavy already.
Any flutter problems or any comments would be appreciated.
