Steering wobble

So I have a 2019 F450. I put a 2.5" leveling kit on the front with a dual Bilstein steering stabilizer. I have the slightest wobble that is causing uneven wear on my front tires. I have been told this is unavoidable, but I find this hard to believe. Should I add more stabilizers? Is there something else I can do?

Exactly. Steering stabilizers will not 'fix' a loose front end, they might cover it up if it isn't too bad.

Did you add more degrees of caster by changing out the caster shims when you lifted it?

There is a TSB on caster changes to address wobble.

A new one? I'm familiar with one of the earlier versions of the DW TSB that included wording saying to reduce caster. That was later omitted from the newer release(s) of the TSB that I have seen.
