HOLY FAWK I know understand when you talk about death wobble. Just about crapped my self.
So the question is how do I stop it
I have new:
-shocks and streering dampner
-ball joints all round
-tire rod ends all round
-adjustable track bar
-sway bars in
-lower controll arms
-drop pitman
-coils and spacers
-brake roters/calipers/pads

happens on my 31s or my 215/75r15
not sure what I could change to fix it
right now I have the front drive shaft out to rebuild the U-joints, but it still does it

any ideas???? :helpme:

1. At what speed does it start?

2. Is it triggered by speed, or by hitting a bump?

3. What are your wheel alignment readings?

Did you get it aligned after your lift? If you didn't, you need to. I ran 6.5" of lift for about 6 months with no DW, as soon as I put spacers on top of my coil springs, all hell broke loose, and I've been fighting it ever since. The ONLY thing that has ever given me any relief was adjusting my caster via my adjustable control arms.
