Default The dreaded death wobble

I have a 07 6.0 Crew Cab. Running a 6in lift from fabtech with 35.5x18 or 20's, dont remember. When ever I get on a road that is even kinda bumpy the death wobble starts. I talked to Todd at olympic offroad and he said that the suspension needs to be retorqued. Did that, some difference but not much really b/c it still does it under the same circumstances. I do not have a steering stabilizer, yet, getting installed in Jan. I am looking for some real advice. Will this work or do I need to take it to a true suspension place instead of the dealership where I bought it from.

Those are all the Dodge Death wobble issues with worn out front ends that i have read about. My truck has 44,000 miles on it and it checked out at the dealership. Besides it not being a dodge what else could it be.

Make sure your pan hard bar is the same angle as your tie rod thats hooked to the drop pitman. If they are different then you can have a hell of a wobble.
