Default Death wobble gone for now

I installed my TeraflexHD forged trackbar yesterday, damn that thing is heavy.
I torqued the 21mm bolts to 125ftlbs. I set the initial length of the trackbar to 33" long and the bolt holes lined up perfectly.
My death wobble seems to be gone.
I drove around and hit all of the same bumps that used to make it happen and so far nothing.
I am noticing a lot more of what seems bump steer, so I went ahead and ordered the the Teraflex drag link flip kit.
Damn, where does it end ???

With 37"tires stuff seems to wear out quickly.

Just Empty Every Pocket!!!

Speaking from past experience I'd check out your other components to make sure nothing else was damaged as a result of your DW episodes. We went with the Monster TF TB as well and all is better now.
