just traded in my gmc for a new dodge and i was so anxicious to level my truck so having the new truck for just a week and i decide to get a leveling kit on rush out put on daystar 2.5inch kit. love the look now drives great. then i join this site last night and discover the talk about the death wobble . today i try my 4x4 and sure enough i feel it ... am i doing damage just driving around in 2 wheel??? if so im f**ked. what do i do?????

 

1. Youre not FU&*ed, chill
2. Just take it out... the vibration will go away

 

Did you have an alignment done after? Could be that they didn't get it aligned quite right. I've heard every kind of story on this. From bad alignment, poor CV angles to ESP. I want to level mine, but i'm waiting till somone figures out what is causing the wobbles.

If you have to look for it, you don't have DW. Try getting it aligned and you should be fine. If that doesn't do it, then just take it out. Easy day...

 

DW will break your thumb the steering will rock back and forth that hard.

 

These trucks don't have "death wobble". Some develop a vibration after a leveling kit is installed, which is caused by the CV joint angles. Normally it is felt in 4wd Hi, not in 2wd because the hubs are not engaged. The fix is A) deal with it, you aren't in 4wd everwhere you go; or B) take the kit out and go back to stock. No need to panic.....

 

The death wobble is mostly on all the 2500/3500 dodge and fords with straight axles and a tweeked trac bar. No need to worry on your truck.

 

tried the truck out again i 4x4 and didnt notice anything this time. i dont know why it vibrated before the first time i tried it in 4x4 yesterday but seems like its gone today. when i read all these problems going on with leveling kits and then i felt it for a minute yesterday i thaught here we go . i feel much better now and can go back to loving this truck ! thx guys

 

and yes i got an alignment done after the leveling kit was done.

 

I recently had the Daystar 2.5" level / lift kit installed and now have the 4x4 wobble problem. The kit was installed by a well established spring & 4x4 shop and an alignment was performed.

I've sent an email to Daystar tech support and am waiting for follow up from them.
