That's pretty vague. I'm still not convinced it was your rims/tires... or if it was your rims or tires, it wasn't exactly what people call "death wobble" - could've been a balancing problem or a bad tire.
What kinda tires were the "bad" ones?
Many times, the death wobble comes from a levelling kit or lift changing the geometric relationship of your control arms / shocks. Plus, if you level your truck up, it always shifts the front axle toward the driver's side an inch or more. Then you NEED an adjustable trackbar (like a DT or Skyjacker) so you can center the front axle again.
Was your "death wobble" before or after you levelled your front-end?
Another cause of death wobble is steering box flex. An SBS (steering box support) kit removes all the problematic flex. BD makes one.. the original one was the Windecker Machine kit if I'm not mistaken. I need one of those BAD!!
I am getting the BFG M/T KM2's and a Skyjacker adjustable trackbar installed today (w/ an alignment)... hopefully that will at least partially solve my front-end woes.
