Your alignment is off or wheels are not balanced correctly...but it is probably the alignment

What kit do you have? I took my truck up to 90 mph yesterday and started to shake a slight bit so I let off the gas and had the death wobble. It was so bad the truck pulled 3 lanes and I ended up in the grass. My Daystar kit is coming off in the morning then I will have the truck aligned again. Once its all back to stock I will try the 90mph again to see if its ok without the kit. Before I put the kit on, I had it up to 98 once with no problem.

Any time you lift or lower a vehicle or change the tire size you have to get an alignment
