Hey guys,
newbie here. I recently just purchased a 2014 Rocky Ridge 1500. It’s got the rocky ridge 6inch lift and 35s on it. All of my geometry looks good but here lies the problem - when I’m doing 25+mph and hit a bump, the truck is sent into a death wobble and I need to slow down to about 10mph before it stops. I had it aligned and all of the bearings and ends looked at. Since it’s a Rack n pinion, I’m not able to get a steering stabilizer. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
thank you.

First off, how many miles on it? When was it lifted? Recently or when new? How was the angle of the drive shafts corrected when it was lifted? Are your front wheel bearing good and tight or do they have some play? The only time I've seen a rack and pinion have front end wobble was a combination of a worn wheel bearing and extreme lift that got the front drive shaft in a bind. This was an extreme lift of nearly 14 inches though. The owner ended up lowering it as the lift was so extreme, he couldn't drive it on the street.
