I had 37x13.5x18 and they would rub. Having a 13.5 wide rather then a 12.5 wide probably was the big difference

Adjustable tracbar isn't necessary, but does recenter the axle. However its not the answer for curing death wobble with only a leveling kit.

Had death wobble on many many SFA vehicles, spooky!

Death wobble is caused by the "TOE" on your alignment. Just got my 2.5" level kit done, and had very bad DW.
Then I took it to the alignment shop, and they told me that Dodges are very sensitive when the "TOE" is out of alignment, now mine works great, no more DW!

I have 3" spacers up front on my left and I had the alignment shop line it all up. I have yet to have the death wobble and I have been up to 210km/hr with my truck on our rough Canadian roads, I mean on a closed course road.

While the toe settings are ONE of the causes of DW, it is far from being the ONLY culprit. That statement is just as true as saying cancer is caused by cigarettes. While the statement is partially true, it is not the ONLY causitive agent. If it were a simple toe setting issue, there wouldn't be 6,632,684,386,924 threads on the topic.

Id venture to guess that caster is actually more of a culprit in causing DW on most dodges than the toe adj.

I have the correct caster on my 04 and ive had my toe adjusted (not intentionally) anywhere from 1-1/8" toe in, to 1/4" toe out. WAY out of spec...and never had DW.

Hey pwerwagn what size are those walker evans? there beautiful buddy.

[Scott39]

The TOE on mine was way out, and the caster was perfect, I got the worst DW anywhere between 45-95mph. My front end has 120k on it, and the Tie rods were all replaced at about 110k.

I'm about to pull the trigger on new tires and I've been rubbing my eyes, looking at those pics of your truck twisted up on the rocks with 37s stuffed in those wheelwells... I can't make myself believe it's true.

I don't know how to measure to make sure 37s will fit mine... but I've got a full front replacement and I'm concerned that the extra weight will mean 37s scrub fenders or bumper... any advice?

Yours looks killer... even my wife digs the big tires, no lift look you've got going on.
