Default Death Wobble....It Happened!

I have a 2" OME (heavy duty springs) lift. I have been having all kinds of problems with it and have posted up before as well as read a ton of solutions. What i was having before i think ended up being bump steer (hit a bump and your steering wheels shakes violently) as well as flighty and floaty steering. Well in addition to that....i had the DW tonight. I have heard people say "you will know when you have it..." well you do! the whole jeep shook and felt like every bolt was coming loose. I just thought this was a bad case of what i was having before so i kept driving (but slower...) it didn't go away until the jeep was pulled over on the side of the road! it took about five minutes or so for my arms to stop shaking! anyway really horrible!

I know from reading the literally hundreds of posts on here that i should probably check that the track bars are torqued correctly and maybe even look for an adjustable one. so not necessarily looking for tips (unless people know any others..) but i just wanted to post up and say THAT SUCKED! rant over.

I had the same issue on my Jeep and tried every trick in the book the only thing that finally fixed it was this http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_jk_...tabilizer.html

I had a Rancho one before that and it didn't fix it but the dual one listed above fixed the death wobble for good and I was getting it every day... well worth $140.00 bucks or so and only a 45min install.
