Well looks like i have my work cut out for me! im pretty sure i need new shocks, and steering stabiliters. As for the track bar i dont know. I dont know a lot about trucks, im more into my car, but i still need my truck to be right.
I dont know..lol Im not all into my truck, but my friend has a crew cab 2006 f250, and thats where i got the wheels. he has a 10" lift with 44" tires, and some other stuff, wheel with these tires he was getting the death wobble, and the store that did all his lift work told him the way to get rid of it was this bar, and it was like $1200. well at the time my truck was all good so i didnt ask to much about it...

The highlighted words above answer your question.
you cant put 06 wheels on an 03 SD. yes the bolt pattern is the same, but the backspacing / offset is completley different. In 05 Ford started using a different offset.

You are correct as long as we're talking factory wheels. The 05 wheels would sit in too far on the leaf sprung trucks. If his friends truck had 10" of lift chances are he was running a very low offset wheel anyway. It looks, from the side, to fit ok maybe even stick out a little.

I have been keeping up with thiss thread because I have been fighting a vibration/wobble for over a year now. 3 different sets of wheels/tires and before and after the lift. Also new unit bearings up front and brakes all around. Not to mention countless wheel/tire balances. Also, new shocks. It's really bad @ 70-75 mph and I want it to stop

In the wheel, but everything was shaking bad.
