Default Wobble in the rear after 2/4 Belltech?

I installed the Belltech 2/4. Everything got replaced on the rear and front, except the front tie rod ends. Everything is fine of flat level or even some of the ****ty roads. The problem comes in some of ruts on the interstate in my area (so far just that). I got a "death wobble" coming from the rear end. I saw that QA1's could help/completely get rid of that. Does anyone have experience with this issue and use the QA1's to get rid of it? How successful? I saw a torsion bar relocation kit but I would love to avoid that if I can.



I have plans to drag and do some track time if that makes any difference, as well as her being my daily.

Doing things to the front suspension isn't going to solve a problem coming from the rear.... Assuming the QA1's are coilover shocks..... those may, or may not.... help. First thing I would check is that everything back there is tight, including the lug nuts......

She's all tight. Just got done checking.

The QA1's are for the rear.

It's the 2/4 lowering kit. Front was a shock lower, with stock coils in, rear was a shock and coil replacement. This kit. Reading around, it looks like the shocks they come with for the rear aren't up to the task and many replace them with better shocks. There is also a torsion bar relocation kit that readjusts the geometry. Shocks are a band aid, though I'll probably do them for now, and relocation is the perma fix. It just requires more work than my body is able to do right now.

Theoretically, they are "Premium" shocks..... Wonder if the groove in the pavement on the interstate are just hitting some harmonic frequency your suspension doesn't like..... Different shocks *might* address that..... but, not 100% sure on that.
