That is death wobble. I haven't heard much about that with the 09 and ups. What they do get on some trucks is a shake in 4x4 that is pretty bad when lifted with a level kit. It seems only a few unlucky trucks get this. But some people are calling this death wobble so this brings some confusion.

I spoke with a mechanic this week and he told me that the problem most definitely is the cv joints binding. I also told him that I never had a problem with my Ford when lifted and his response was that they are two entirely different set ups. I figured I have to bring the axles back some how to it's original location, or buy some better cv joints which allow it to work at a more extreme angle. Anybody have an idea where I can buy either version of the above?

I saw one like mine witht he leveling kit that appeared to almost be front high. Also how does it react to load, does it become really high?

I also noticed no one talked about aligning headlights and foglights, that would be required also would it not

in the mopar/superlift level kit the instructions say to realign the headlights, its one of the last steps listed

if level wouldnt a load just give it more of a sag appearance in the rear? i assume it would be just like pulling a trailer that is really heavy with the back down and nose up
