From what I've researched, DW is usually caused (or at least made worse) when you do a lift without adjusting your caster (the amount your axle is "leaning" back. If you draw and amaginary line from your bottom to top ball joints, that line should be tilted back about 7 degrees.

When you lift the front without changing the stock LCAs (or at least pushing them forward) you probably dont have enough caster which will give you "light" steering. A bad ball joint, tie rod end, stabilizer, etc. might be making it worse, but chances are caster (or the lack of) is your main problem.

 

yep thats another reason why I recomend shackles vs blocks! ^^^

Is the DW coming more from the front or rear?

 

^^^ You can do your own alighnment pretty easy to get by til you can get it into a shop. The only parts you might need are some alighnment shims for your LCA which you should be able to get at any auto parts store.

All you do is loosen your LCA bolts at the frame end. Loosen the two bolts on each alighnment sleeve (on the back of the LCA mounts) and slide the LCAs forward. You'll see there are probably already a couple alighment shims in there (between the alighnment sleeve and the LCA mount). Add a couple more to each side till you get about 7 degrees caster. Torque bolts to spec.

Then you'll need to readjust the toe (how much the front wheels point in). Use a tape measure. Find "common" points on the fronts and backs of the front tires. Make sure you have about 1/8" toe-in (the measurement should be 1/8" less in front of the tires than in back). To adjust you just loosen the bolts and turn the rod connecting the front tires (I forget the name).

Hope this helps. Good luck!

 

Ok so i got an alingment, being the retard i am totally forgot i had to do that also replaced the steering stabilizer. seems to have fixed the death wobble problem. Took it on state street and the freeway and couldn't get it to shake so we will see how it goes.

No TC drop, the one i got from rat doesn't work with my skid plate, gonna have to do some modifying.

Next mod it adjustable lowers so i can correct the caster like arron said. Damn money pit lol

 

Glad to hear you got it worked out. That drop does'nt work with your skid plate? Have you got an aftermarket skid? Cool to hear you got the lift all done, can't wait to check it out tommorow.

Yeah I figured I'd pack the portaque just to be on the safe side.

 

I think I will make this run, still trying to persuade the girlfriend.

 

well finally got he brake lines done. Broke the god damn bleeder on the caliper didn't get to the rear springs like i wanted, i'm beat so the rear sits a little lower then the front expecially with all the crap in back. I have the big bbq and a bunch off wood for the fire. Should be a good time, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
