So I put my 31x10.5x15 BFG's on today and I also balanced them. Everything checked out just fine as far as the balancing went. I mounted everything up and torqued my lugs to spec *in hope that there was no room for error of course*. I took off from auto shop to go home and all of a sudden after hitting about 50mph, I started to get death wobble. If I went under 50, I would lose the DW, if I went over 50, I'd lose it the DW too. I got home and tightened everything thinking maybe my trac bar was the culprit when it actually wasnt at all! I think it's my passenger side outer tie rod but I'm not too sure. I still can't figure out why this would all of a sudden happen right after just a new pair of tires. It was never like this before!

If you have an idea of what is going on, or you would like to make a comment feel free to do so I need all the help I can get!

Alignment???

were you running stock tires before

this might sound dumb but when you tightened them down did you hand tighten the lugs first or just run them down with an impact reason i ask is the rim might not be sitting on the studs exactly flush and could cause the above mentioned issue

Already did that a couple weeks ago after I completed my lift.

I finger tightened them, then I used the Impact wrench, and then I let it off the lift and checked all the lug torque with a torque wrench. I'm going to use a breaker bar or something instead of an impact wrench just to see if that was my problem. This might save me the $75 for buying a new tie rod end lol... Thank you!

Yeah I was running 215x75x15 BFG Long Trail T/A's, the part that sucks is I took them off and they only have a thousand miles on them if that. I wish the money spent on those went into my used 31's hahaha

This ones pretty weird since its a new set of tires and you have it all balanced...

how old is the steering shock might need a bigger shock

freegdr

used tires try swaping the rears to the front also

mwdouglas

could be that one of the front tires is out of round

Doesn't sound like deathwobble. It sounds like a missbalance, rebalance the tires again

1996XJSport

They're not new. The ones I just took off were new. The set of 31's I'm running at the moment are used takeoffs.

I was thinking of doing that friday... great suggestion!

No can do, those rears are a lot less grippy than my fronts and I want steering traction lol. I'm only riding on those particular set of rears till the end of the month when i get paid.
