Crazy shaking and jerking in my suspenion
Im currently deployed and I just had a lift installed on my truck. I went with a 6 inch tough country with dual steering stabilizers. The truck drove fine before now that the lift is on my mechanic is telling me if you hit a bump above 30mph it starts hopping and jerking. Does any one have any idea of what the problem may be? Ive been told I may have some bushings out. Its a 2005 4x4 XL powerstroke with 47k miles on it. I had a front end alignment done on it 10k miles ago with stock suspenion and everything was fine. Any body have any ideas?

You are experiencing the "death wobble" It's in your steering system, not suspension. It's not so good on the steering parts when this happens. Ford issued a TSB or some sort of bulletin on this and they claim it is mostly due to underinflated tires. Have your's checked. My truck did this with a pro-comp 6" lift and I had to get DR/Icon dual steering stabilizers to get it to go away. Doesn't do it anymore. I think the gas stabilizers are much better than the hydraulic stabilizers because they always are pulling the steering to the center. Unlike a hydraulic stabilizer, the gas ones will no remain where you push/pull the cylinder. They go back to center. Do some searching on "death wobble" because I'm 99% sure that's what your problem is. -Kelly |

As long as the shop can align it with the aftermarket tires and wheels then do it with them on.
