Can a steering stabilizer that is too stiff cause a 'death wobble' affect?

We have replaced everything in the front end of the Dodge 20017 2500 ram truck and we are still getting the 'death wobble' now and again. We did pull the steering stabilizer and it seems VERY stiff. Could that be the final cuprit?

Try without steering stabilazer, and see if you still get DW. Then the problems lies somewhere else. I haven't had stabilazer in years, and bad TRE and bad trackbar have been the reason for DW.
When ever there is death wobble, first thing to do is to loose the stabilazer and fix the problem!

BTW, you're on a 2nd gen section, this should be in 4th gen.
