6"lift?

same truck here.. exept mines a SRW... i have the 6" superlift also, can't say i have ever had any shaking or death wobble.. ever truck is differn't from the factory. seems like they set them up just a tweak differn't every time. i can suggest if you have the "wobble" make sure your "track" bar is VERY TIGHT!! check all bolts. my tires were starting to wear funny. so i tightend up my track bar and solved that. i heard if you still have this problem try to set your "TOE" out 1 or 2 degres on the allingment. should fix it. no one can ever explain why this happens to begin with. so check your allingment and see whats going on..

Dual steering stabs and dual shocks aren't going to help......you have the infamous death wobble.

More caster will fix it 9 times outta 10.....

Are you running D rated tires? I had the same problem, I called Kore( cause they know there stuff) and the first thing they asked me was what rating my tires where. After I switched to E-rated it drives like a new truck again.
