Default Fixed my wobble!!

Free I got my lift on and 35's I've been playing with stabilizers after realizing the stock was for roller skate size tires! My first was the Rancho RS5407, helped but still road walked a bunch. Finally got my new RS5418 on, holy cow what a difference! Just figured I'd pass it along, I know there's been allot of folks having issues.

SS does nothing but mask suspension problems, if you can run without one you're golden if you need one something is off. jus sayin'

( and fyi the stocker is what ORE uses on their builds.) So it's not all that bad. not trying to be a dick or anything just passing along useful info.

X2 on what you have said.
SS just masks DW and has absolutely nothing to do with the cause of DW...it's essentially a band-aid. You haven't actually fixed anything.

Stock SS is just as good as most aftermarket stabilizers.

I think mine was more the fact that I went from such a small tire that had very little contact with the road to 35's which are much wider. Man no offense taken at all. I just noticed that I don't pull so hard in the hwy grooves as I did before. Post a link to you videos though, it would help out for sure!

My jeep only has 2500 miles so nothing was. Clunking I think it was more just road walking

I had death wobble for 6 months in and out of the shop. 3 different shops to be exact. They kept telling me it was the SS. It blew a few times and the wobble came right back in full force. Finally they figured it out. Now I can run without a SS....... As the other guy said, it will just mask the real problem.

You should check your caster. I bet it's off if you didn't put lower adjustable control arms on. That's not going to help your DW but it will help your flightyness.

That's exactly what mine was. I had 3/4 spacers without adjustable arms. So once they were pulled out. Boom!! No more wobble
