Death wobble
i would recomend replacing all the front components. if it is already wobbling then it means that more than one part is worn. if you just replace one then the other worn ones are gonna wear out the new parts. replace them all and they will last alot longer
get your front wheels jacked up off the ground and move your tires by hand as is the they are trying to turn left to right and watch for play in all steering components.also move from top to bottom rock back and forth to check ball joints.
My replacement dual stabilizers came in today. Got those installed and took it for a test drive. Went down a street made of potholes. It did better.... THEN it hit me. Like a horse on its hind legs kicking in rampage, starts bouncing up and down side to side. I jerk the steering wheel to regain tension and it stops. Attemped the highway and it bounced when i hit a pothole at about 45MPH. above that once it droppedd into 4th gear it just floated above them. My track bar bushings are shot, and sway bar links look a little week. Could a steering stabilizer bar be a problem as well?
I was haveing the same problem i rebuit it like 4 times but i did the new style converson kit on mine wit the new style track bar that has bushings instead of ball joints over a year ago and i havent had any problems since
Also check the tires for belt shift,wheel bearing play,& all components,steering box steering shaft,it has u-joints in it. Have someone move the wheel back& fourth& look at every moving part in the assembly,I've 3 Rams,they are capable of all the above in the steering play dept.

Anyone have an opinion on the lukeslinks for fixing the trackbar vs replacing it? I have a little death wobble and thought if that'd fix it, it'd be worth doing before towing season this year...
