How much toe?

hey its not the straight axles fault. generally death wobble is caused by worn out parts. have you checked to make sure all tie rods, ball joints and bearings are tight? probably should have checked that stuff before an alignment since most shops won't want to do an alignment on a truck with any worn out front axle parts. you may also want to check and make sure there is no toe out even if you just do it with a tires on. toe out could cause it to want to start DW if there is possibly an issue

what about front end bushings? i would guess the bushings in the arms that connect the axle to the frame might be wore out if you are experiencing death wobble. i would still recommend at least checking the toe in the driveway and make sure it is toe in even if you just do it with the tires on it. this might be worth reading but it sounds like it could be a lot of things.

big tires are wider so they might have just helped hide it. i guess like the article said it can be really tough to diagnose and fix death wobble. i can completely understand why dodge wanted to get away from leaf springs in the front but they probably needed to connect the axle to the frame a bit better than they did.

Check the trac bar (from the frame to the axle). Usually the source of DW. If you are still running the stock trac bar with the tie rod end on the frame end of it, thats most likely your cause. You need to upgrade the trac bar to the 3rd gen style ( http://www.dtprofab.com/DTP02100XHD-...FT-_p_352.html)
Kind of expensive, if moneys tight (like it is for everyone) go this route https://lukeslink.com/products/lukes...d-poly-bushing
I ran a Luke link for years, worked great!
