Death Wobble?

[duraman03]

I have a 2006 2500 4x4 6spd Cummins. Two weeks ago I replaced my two inch front spacer(Leveling Kit) with the KORE VR HP 2" Kit. While my truck was at the offroad shop I had them order and install the new Dodge steering upgrade kit,no new pitman arm. Also had them install a Defiant steering stabilizer instead of the $140. 00 Dodge one. Driving home on the freeway I noticed wandering and some big bumps made the truck feel like it was skipping somewhat out of control. Next time I dove the truck I went through some gears real quick and got it up to about 85mph, then got on the brakes really hard. The steering wheel and truck shook violently almost out of control! Very scary, then the same thing today. Do I need the 08' pitman arm? Is the stabilizer to stiff/set-up wrong? Never had ANY of these problems before all the new front end parts. I need help!

So what did they set your caster at? Did they do an alignment? 2" lift shouldn't need a pitman arm? Maybe they left something lose?

i myself have been having the same problem. I had it forst on my older 06 after changing the rubber down 4 sizes from 285 down to 245. never figured out what it was. traded that truck for another 06 and this one is doing the same thing. stock rubber size (235) (drw). this truck has a 4" super lift leveling kit on it. I still have no idea what it is. the dealer did an alignment on it when i bought it. they did tell me they couldnt pull it all the way into alignment because of the lift but i dont know why. i would be interested in knowing why the truck does this as well.

They did an alignment, don't know what the caster is set at. But I checked all bolts and nuts. Everything seems great, what should caster be set at?

Should be at -4. 5 degrees.
