Exclamation 99 dodge ram front end problems

whenever i go over a big bump in the road going over 65 my front end shakes out of control, i brought it to a buddy of mine at a tire store and he mentioned that they are 4ply tires and the max psi is 35 when these trucks should have 8 or 10 ply with about 60+ psi. could this be my problem? the idiot before me put these tires on and they obviously arent made for a heavy duty truck.

Check the trac bar if it's a 4x4. And put ALL the info about your truck in your sig!

Sounds like death wobble to me, i.e. bad track bar.

I've run 10 ply 35" tires, and the recommend tire pressure was 35 psi. Is this a 2500 diesel or a 1500/2500 gas?

Check out Thuren track bar. It's better then stock. There's another one, but I can't think of it right now.

Yup, that's them. The other is DT Profab.

Both Thuren and DT will cost more, but it will be the last tracbar you buy.
