My first dw was ball joints.. Check those.. then I had bfg's and got rid of those along with installed a thuren steering stabilizer and dw has been gone ever since... BFG's are too soft for our trucks.... IMO.... I didn't like them at all...

I feel for you. I battled DW for the entire summer and it is no fun. What finally did it for me were two new front tires (the old ones were worn badly from poor alignment). New steering stabilizer shocks from superlift, Don Thuren track bar, and a good alignment. I asked the tech to get put the caster to as close as 5 degrees positive as possible. DW is finally gone and truck drives great for having big 37" tires on heavy 22" wheels.

The only time I ever had it was after a local shop installed a KORE system. The same 4x4 shop did the alignment as well, and it flat out sucked. The first day after the install, I launched it into death wobble and it scared me silly. After about the 3rd time doing this at the same location, I knew something had to be wrong. I had the tire shop that I regularly go to, check the alignment and the toe was waaaay off. The guy said he couldn't imagine how the install shop got it so far off. Realigned it properly, and it's been perfect ever since. So, it could be simply that your toe is off as well. Cheap way to start ruling things out.

You need a sector shaft stabilizer and a set of our trackbar bushings: http://lazarsmith.com/SSSSS.html

Pretty simple answer.... Put the stock size tires back on and replace the stock suspension components.

Sorry, but you asked.

That may be true, BUT the trucks that are lifted and/or have oversized tires show far more problems with death wobble that those without.
