Iv read up on it all i could find, wondering on mine 2003 dodge ram 2500 gas v8 with ether a 4 or 6 inch lift shakes and gets worse as I go faster. Does the stearing stabilizer actually fix the problem? I don't feel like wasting 130$ on something that won't help or correct the problem. Haven't seen any feed back on it from people.

 

I had this problem with a lifted ford I had years ago.what size tires does your truck have you dont say?they cant balance the tires to good cause they are so big thats why they shake.mine ise to shake at about 45 mph if you get up to about 60 mph the shaking will stop.but to answer youre question yes the stabilizer will help alot i put one on my old truck and it made it alot better.it may still shake a little but nothing like it does now.so I would say yes put one on it will help.

 

Your worried abought a 130.00 bucks??

First off dump the lift kit, dodge trucks wre not made to run lift kits, problem is acclerated if you kept the oem parts, non srevicable u joints, upper and lower ball joints, drag link and non servicable u joints were never and still are no dam good on a stock suspension truck.

Getting rid of a lift kit imay not be a practical option for you. I have a rough country dual stearing stabilzer on my 06 2500 with stock tires and suspension, mega mega improvemnet over the stock unit, but I also have all new upper and lower ball joints and a new drag link.

Death wobble on a dodge truck is a combination of facters.

No a stearing stabilzer is not the quick fix for death wobble as it is the last part installed installed in the steering assembly.

If you have a out of balance front tire, worn out lower and upper ball joints, or a sloppy drag link, a stearing stabizer will do nothing for you, it will only partialy hide death wobble.

If all front end componants are good, than a a dual dtearing sabilzer will keep the stearing and suspension from incuring additional wear and tear, it is worth while upgrade over a stock unit.

Thier are stearing braces out thier, but first item to check is the stearing half shafts, than power stearing box, to tie rods, ball joints, ect..

 

Also the angles that you've put the axles at are probably causing you the shaking issues...but every truck reacts differently to lift kits...

The steering stabilizer will "HELP" but it won't completely eliminate the problem, I really can't believe that Dodge never put out a TSB or a Recall regarding that problem, as steering problems at highway speeds are usually very serious.

 

mine got 184k and with stock parts or stock like replacements parts. it nevered had the death wobble issue at all

 

What you are describing is not "death wobble". That occurs with certain year and model STOCK Rams. When you have a lift like you do, there is so much geometry in play, that if everything is not PERFECT, you are going to get vibration. Probably 20 or so things you can try. One of them being the stabilizer. But that is most likely not the culprit. How are your ball joints?, U-joints, Shocks, Tire balance, Alignment, Tie rods, Drag link, etc? Nothing against lifted trucks, just saying they have to be done, and maintained to a higher standard than stock. I assume since you say you have a 4 to 6 inch lift, you are also running huge rims/tires. These are extremely difficult to balance, and running over a piece of gravel can throw off your alignment. You play, You pay.

 

I am betting that the angles of his axles are way out of where they need to be... and there is probably some stress on the tie rod ends as well...

 

It's a solid axel they can't exactly flex if they did something would give. Turns out my tires were out of balance and causing it all

 

Make sure you rotate the tires regularly now that they're balanced. Once they get beyond a wear point, they can't be rebalanced to what you would expect.

 

Ya I just bought new ones that were not so wide
