Has anyone used this leveling kit?

I am looking to level my truck out and I have the death wobble going on. This kit has the springs, shocks, trac bar, shims and brake line tabs. Seems like the most complete kit I have looked at. I have never heard of Carli.

Here is another trac bar that looks like it might address the death wobble even better.

Either track bar would be fine, although I am not a fan of running exposed rod end joints on the street. If you weren't leveling the truck then a stock track bar would probably work - I fixed my wobble situation with new stock bar. With either bar you should make sure the caster is corrected after the lift, dropping the angle of the suspension arms takes out most of the factory caster and you need new bushings to correct for this. Caster should be 3.5 degrees positive.

The Carli kit comes with castor shims. I have asked the question about the shims and I get varied answers. This is what the Carli kit comes with.

Our Super Duty Leveling Kit features our custom linear rate 2.5" lift coil springs, Bilstein 5100 shocks, caster correction shim, brake line relocation tab and a Chromoly track bar. Each component enhances the ride quality in a level stance. 100% bolt-on DIY.
