Is any of the steering lose? Ball joints, tie rods, drop pitman arm? What tires do you have? My 36's when cold do the death wobble.

With them tires you shouldnt have it. I do get that every once in a while. Im ordering a dual steering stablizer once of these days. Is there much play in the box? Thats about all thats lose on my truck.

Not much play in the box. However it has a very rough ride. I put the Rancho 5000 shocks on this time. I think it had a lower version of Rancho when this first started.

Thats wierd. Do you have a steering stablizer? Does it do it all the time or just when you hit a pot hole? Drivers side, passanger side?

Humm. Im stumped, if everything is tight, and nothing is lose. I go no idea. Death wobble is usually caus something is lose. There is no tie rod on the sway bar. The sway bar has end links, and no that wouldnt make a death wobble. If a link is gone you will feel the truck swaying more then usually.
