    I do a lot of work on lifted jeeps I find that with a lifted truck, getting it aligned to max out the caster usually makes if track a hell of a lot better and helps with death wobbles.

    I will never forget the first time i got a death wobble in my WJ Cherokee... I have never been so close to shitting my pants in my life. Though the front tire was coming off. New steering damper fixed the issue for me even though I have seen from many that the damper is not the best way to fix it.

    That is crazy, the fact that it's both front wheels doing that and not just one is , I couldn't imagine how much I'd shit my pants if it happened to me near Golden or somewhere like that, but looking at some other videos, people seem to be in control of the truck for the most part, even switching lanes at those speeds seem ok.

    FYI, FraserB stopped by and fixed the death wobble with the turning of a couple bolts!

    After a trip to Banff on friday, with no incidents, I can't thank you enough! Thanks for all the advice as well.

    UPDATE

    Had death wobble one time since FraserB's visit. FINALLY got the backordered Bilstein 5100 steering damper. Installed that and it feels almost like a new truck. There is still play that I can feel so I know I'll be doing some work up there sometime but for now I feel like it's under control.
