Default Death Wobble

I am getting a violent shake when I hit ruff bumps at highway speeds and I have to slow down below 20 MPH to get the shakes out. I just replace the ball joints any suggestions.

Yep, inherent design flaw. You need a steering box stabilizer. Do a search on here for it. I believe I have a write up in the FAQ section on it as well...

I recieved the part but it is for an 03'-07' and I have an 08', I wasn't able to try the part but I did get rid of the death wobble by changing out my track bar and putting a new steering stabilizer, I have a 150,000 miles on this truck and they were worn out.
