RF Tire Bounce
So I have read the other posts about the death wobble. Mine is on the right front tire only. Not always but every once in awhile it will really start bouncing. It also pulls to the right while driving. A couple things I have noticed is: when I stand in front of the truck and look at it it looks like the whole truck is tilted toward that right front tire a little. And the last time I changed the tie rod I noticed that the hole the tie rod end bolts through was a little bigger than the one on the drivers side. Tires wear fine though. What do you think? Bushings?

I have never replaced the shocks on this truck. what would you suggest I go with? Brand and type? I dont do a lot of pulling but do hook up the 5th wheel every once in awhile. i have helper springs on the rear. thanks

Ive got rancho 5000's. I would have bought 9000's if my wife had let me. She's paying for it now with black eyes every time I hit a washboard patch of pavement. They definitely keep the tires on the ground.
Don't forget to pull those front shackles down and look at the bushings. I'll bet they are trashed.

RRanch, I am not sure exactly what the shackles are. Are they part of the Shock mounting system? Thanks again....
