Thanks everyone for the suggestions!!!
what about putting in a better trac bar ?
only if you got a level kit on, otherwise I would say the stock one is good, maybe just new bushings
hemi...I'm willing to bet it's stock height ? in that case stock bar should be ok imo

I have the 2 inch ravtek spacers that sit on the 2 coils. Had them on forever.
it's one of "those things" may as well do if putting a steering box brace on I believe. what's another 300 lol jk. I think that dam brace is around 300

Lol yeah at this point may as well get a whole new front end. I will start checking off the list as I start spending the scrilla. It's never just one part is it lol
start with the tires if theyre as toast as you say
I only experienced death wobble once, but I believe it was because the coil spring wasnt sitting flush in the bucket

I still run the pre-08 linkage and didnt have any problems until last fall (7yrs of lift/35s) . Have a feeling its something else but you never know.

you say this only happens when pulling a trailer, is it 5th wheel or bumper pull, travel trailer or equipment? load distribution very possible, with tires wore on edge, alignment and likely ball joints, could also be bad bushings. hopefully it is an easy fix!
avoid the replace everything auto repair shops? Don's tire, Dick's tire, dick's auto are good. go get an estimate at a few places, usually the best idea.

Funny you say this. The rubber ring that goes between the mount and spacer is not sitting flat. It's hanging out one side, always was though.
if ya goto kal tire ama is 10% off
Wife bought a new Jeep Gladiator from Renfrew last fall that has a 2" lift, 37" tires with a FOX BDS Steering stabilizer and it's quite the experience to drive. Keep it under 80 and you should be good, anything over that and not sure what you'll get - normal operating, lots of float or a big ol death wobble.
Its been to the dealership several times and tire shops to no avail.. Airdrie Truck Mike is a good idea, he might be able to help..
I joke that i haul it to Waiprous so we don't have to drive it on the highway.

37s are pretty large, especially with such a small wheelbase. I hate to suggest it might be the nature of the beast

Bf Goodrich act’s are known to cause wobble,
Tire pressure can start it but due to worn front end parts.
Block rear ended up. Get some one to sit inside and rock steering back and forth 10-2
Watch trac bar to frame mount. I’ve had worn joint to a cracked frame mount to a ovaled bolt hole on that trac mount. But cheap all joints for movement. Steering box play as well.
Death wobble can be a can of worms. Sage Carli or Don Thuren can’t remember which one has a great write up about it. I’ll see if I have it in my file.

The "Death" of Death Wobble
Let’s start with a statement to ease your mind; Death Wobble is not YOUR problem; it’s not even a Dodge problem. Death Wobble is a problem that has plagued straight axle vehicles of all kind since their inception. Straight axle front ends are far stronger than their IFS counterparts but are...
