Default First experience with death wobble

Since I installed my lift I've gotten some very minor shaking at around 50mph. Tonight, I was doing 70 around a bend, hit a bump, and it felt like an earthquake. It wouldn't stop until I pulled over and came to an almost dead stop. Very, very scary and I know that my jeep is no longer highway worthy until I figure out the cause.

When did you all get your first real taste of dw, and how did you cope with it?

I wasnt bothered at all.

I giggled a little, to be honest.

I knew it would happen eventually, so when it did I laughed and was like damn Time for more parts. The girl that was with me just looked at me and laughed too and asked why it does that and if I would help with her JK's DW
