new stearing stabilizer
I installed my new stearing stabilizer, so far it corrected the death woble when I hit pot holes. But when I accelerate (punch it) and build speed really fast it starts shaking.....any thoughts on what to do next? thanks

I am thinking of adding a steering stabilizer as well. When is adding one actually recomended? I am thinking of going to 35" M/T's and I did not know if I should do it or not.

I think they should all have a stabilizer, then above 35s you should look into dual setups.

For the record, I use a ProComp single stabilizer, and I run 305/75R16's (33") tires. The truck rides like a dream...

I haven't know the D/W on my current truck, but the best fix for the death wobble that I have ever known was the proper combination of tire pressure, wheel balance, 4 wheel alignment and well maintained front-end parts, including BIG after market stabilizer(s). All lessons learned with my '92 6.9L Crew Cab long bed... 35x12.50z16.5's mounted on 28.5 feet of shakin' fury!

I just added the Fabtech dual stock location set up. Noticed it smoothed the turning a bit.

Nice looking setup! Is it utilizing the stock center link mount, or does it just look like the stock one?
