I have a 1994 F-350 Crew cab with 8 inches of lift running 39x15x16 Mickey Thompson tires. I think I am experiencing what is referred to as Death Wobble. Every so often between 30-40 mph the truck will begin to shake violently. It will stop once the speed is 25 mph or slower, or if I turn fairly hard either direction. It will sometimes occur between 40 and 45 mph (about 1% of the time), and it has never occurred beyond 50 mph. Also it seems that tempature might play a role: as it has rarely occured at temps below freezing, but can almost be counted on at temps above 60. The trac bar with replaced with a Bullet-Proof one (http://bulletproofsteering.com/trackbar.html). The tie rod and drag link were replaced with standard OEM pieces. The tires have been dynamically balanced. AND the shake remains. As I visit the many forums there seems to be no end to the solutions for death wobble, as well as no end to the opinions about it. I have been messing with this for about 8 months and have not made any head way on improving it. Can someone please help!!?? ALSO, as an aside: I live in Casper Wyoming and do not know of any place near by (shop wise) that can be helpful.

I thought so too at one point, but when I had them checked I was told they were fine.
