Default Death Wobble Cure for my 2006 2500 Cummins

simple. talked to koreperformance, talked to desertproven, and klm performance.

did not buy anything other than tires

E rated is the answer for me Toyo Open Country Mud 35s

ebay has the bfg 315.70.17's (never again)

Problem fixed hitting same spots that had me wobble with no issues, at all...

and he's already done the next step... get rid of the BFG's... I hate them. had them on my 2000 4x4 QC and all 4 tires locked in wet weather andI found myself sitting part way in an intersection. good thing there were no cars in front of me both times!

What exactly is death wobble? I had a 77 chevy with 35's on it. Every time I got over 40mph the front end would go crazy, side to side. Is this the same thing? Like the tires have no balance?

imagine pushing a shopping cart with the front wheels that have no caster in them... the front end wants to go which ever way it can. Like your old chevy, violent shaking side to side.

all I can say I I hope that noone ever experiences it. But if you do then there is a simple cure.

I have a lot of gray hair from those wobbles on the freeway @ 70

thanks for the responses
