hey i need some help i installed a 3 inch lift on my jeep and since that i have had a wobble around 45-55 its insane

 

Done an alignment yet?

Always get one done after any lift.

 

no but it was just a budget boost i didnt think i needed to

 

Same thing with my buddy's jeep, 3 inch pucks and it got death wobble really bad! He got a relocated beaker for the draglink, soposed to fix it but hast done it yet

 

so what am i susspose to do

 

Take it to get an alignment. ANY lift requires an alignment. No matter how you look at it, your messing with the suspension geometry.

 

ok well ill try that

 

you also NEED to center your front axle... like Gee oh Dee said, No matter how you look at it, your messing with the suspension geometry. and any ammount of lift with mess with the axle's side to side alignment as well as the front end alignment

I use this so often that now I just keep it saved... maybe I should make this my sig, or at least a link to it... I think I have copied and pasted this around 6 times today on different threads and forums

honestly most people can not tell the difference between DW, tire/wheel vibes, drive line vibes and alignment related vibes

so this is my one size fits all vibe/wobble fix it check list...

raising the truck and putting bigger tires can make issues that are already there seem more serious... it also throws angles out of whack which makes things even worse

the first thing you need to do is this

1.) identify when the wobble is present

2.) identify when, if ever the wobble is gone (expamples, below 30mph, after braking)

3.) identify what action start the wobble (examples, hard turns, speeds of 45-55mph)

4.) try to swap out your tires for your full sized spare, do this one by one, chances are you will find a bad tire

5.) jack the front end up and check for anything loose (ball joints, bolts, etc)

6.) if you have not had your caster adjusted, DO IT YOUSELF AT HOME AND SAVE SOME MONEY

7.) follow this walk thru to do a front end alignment yourself...

centering your axle is part of the front end alignment, do it first

8.) have your wheels balanced

When I lifted mine 4.5 inches I had to relocate the track bar, had to drill 3/4" to the right that should center the body over the axle

 

^^ This. Anything you do to your rig prior to getting an alignment is potentially just wasting time and money. Get the front end aligned, then go from there.
