All this talk about "death wobble" and "pogo stick suspension" is making me paranoid. How can I prevent these scary cirumstances?

P.S. I am in Germany right now making a Euro tour and I get back June 8th and hopefully my shop will have my Jeep done. I am getting a 4.5" BDS lift with .5" spacer in front. Front and rear adjustable track bars. 37" Goodyear MTR Kevlar tires...

Not in a bad way. Maybe just a bit more performance oriented than ride oriented. OME's seem to ride softer.

So would I just be better off grinding the washers off and using jks brackets to solve the wallowed hole issue?

Could bad ball joints be causing a rough ride as well? I already had to get one side replaced a long time ago due to being completly dry, even before the lift, and if it happens once ive learned theres a good chance it can happen again....

Stock X shocks suck. Put on Edelbrock IAS shocks and now wife happy. Should I put stock X shocks back on?? Poorer ride but less verbal noise!!
