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.

Like Algae said, they just had a tire that's not balanced properly, has a broken band, etc... Death wobble is one of those things that scares you ****less the first time it happens. It sounds and feels like your whole truck is going to fall apart if it's bad.

If I didnt have death wobble then I'd like for you to explain to me why my front end was literally bouncing off of the ground uncontrollably had ABSOLUTELY no control over the truck what so ever the truck was shaking so violently stuff from the back seat of the truck bounced up into the windshield of the truck hit me and the girl in my passenger sit... how the truck was shaking so violently you couldn't hold onto the steering wheel.
