dm,you try cracking any of the control arm bolt's yet?just the thought of what the stealership would want for all the hardware scare's me.i'm gonna try the handle from the jack on the end of a breaker bar.i'm thinking dodge might have not greased the bolt's before inserting them in the bushing's.

would a lower set be able to help with death wobble? I have a 2.5 inch level kit, and thought a longer lower might help? any ideas ? ?

They can help if the arms you currently have on there are worn out.

Death wobble is caused by many parts on the truck.

Trackbar, mainly the frame side joint
Tierod ends
Ball joints
Steering box
Control arms
Wheel balance weights missing

Don't forget incorrect caster angles. Too much caster causes it to not want turn and excess wear on the U-joints. Too little and it creates death wobble and very darty steering.

On a lifted truck, longer LCA's will push the axle forward some while rotating it back to a more stock caster angle. You want as much caster as you can get without maxing out your recommended U-joint operating angle.

how much for a lower arm set for a 2" leveling kit?! no paint, just bare metal ready to bolt on, no fancy joints

Tyler, what would the turn-around time be on non adjustable extra length ones?
Thanks!
