Have you torqued your trackbars to 125ft-lbs? I had the same issues and retorqued the suspension, and now it rides beautifully!

I would check them anyway because it may be more pronounced with the larger tires. And consider getting an adjustable trackbar to correct the geometry rather than spending the money to cover up the problem with the steering stabilizers.

99.9% of the time, a SS has absolutely nothing to do with loose steering, death wobble etc.., and at most will only cover up the real problem for a short period of time. The factory SS is more than adequate for on and off-road use. You technically don't even need one and won't feel much (if any) of a dif without one. It's purpose is to take pressure of your ball joints and other steering components. I'd search all other avenues in your steering components first... Jusr my .2

X10.... Don't throw money at the prob if you haven't found the root cause. You'll just end up spending more in the end.
