Default Death wobble question

I have been hearing alot about death wobble lately in forums and such and I want to hear from people on this forum who have lifts installed and have NOT experienced the dreaded DEATH WOBBLE. Im curious to know which lift kits you have. I am going to install a 4-4.5 lift on a daily driver but not sure which lift to put on.....kinda getting nervous about having problems with dw. Your responses are much appreciated

I don't think that a particular brand can be associated to death wobble. It depends more of how the lift is installed, the condition of all steering components, and how everything is maintained.

As Robar said. If installed wrong any lift will have DW, If you fail to check torque on your suspension you will get DW. Its easily avoidable

Hell, you don't even need a lift to get DW.

Amen to that. I'm trying to get mine fixed so I CAN put on a lift. If you have issues, a lift will magnify them. If all is good and you install it correctly, you should be fine.
