Oh, also need a longer track bar, I get a little bit of the "death wobble" around 70mph if I hit a bump

God I wish that was the case, went out for the first time in months, ended up getting WAY too drunk, and waking up with a broken toe.

Atleast if I kicked the dodge, I'd know what to tell my boss

My death wobble only comes when I hit a bump going 50+, and its enough to almost make the truck run off the road, actually very scary.

Ended up making my own extended track bar tonight, cut mine and rewelded a piece of pipe in its place to extend it with the drop pitman arm so they were at the same angle, and that was no help.

Upon doing that, I realized my castor was HORRIBLY off, and both of my lower control arms were bent to hell and back from what looks to be someone jacking the truck up by them or something, SOOOOOO looks like I'll be ordering adjustable control arms ASAP!

yeah that's what mine does, I'm gonna try a rebalance of the tires, GOOD front end alignment, and maybe a dual steering stabilizer from tuff country.
