Death Wobble
i didnt think id need an sye or tcase drop for my 3 inch lift but im having serious death wobble. im sorta new to this so does death wobble have any ill effects other than just the crazy sporadic siezures?

Death wobble has nothing to do with the rear. Something is off in the geometry of the front suspension or steering. Did you do an alignment after lifting it?

Very crucial. Probably whats giving you the wobble.

a big help would be an adj track bar, I got mine for $55 new on ebay, and a good alignment. But dw is caused from worn suspension parts and really you should replace all tie rods, ball joins, hubs, bushings and what not.

Steering stabilizers are just a bandaid for dw and half the time doesn't even help it. Just my opinion tho. Trackbar and bushings alignment crap tires possibly? That's where id start
