  1. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    My truck was on the ground but I was holding my phone in a weird position to get the shot.
  2. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Is that something that I can fix at home? If I loosen the control arms and track bar bolts - shake the JT as much as I can on each side, and then re-torque?
  3. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    The kit did not come with extended sway bar end links: https://teraflex.com/jt-2-5-performance-spacer-lift-kit-no-shocks.html# Just to reply quickly I did a quick rough measurement of the sway bar links and the rear are in fact LONGER than the front. Rear are about 14" rough measrued, and...

    Thanks for the replies again. The photo that I sent were with the JT on the ground. When I get a chance I'll take a closer look at the lengths of the sway bars. With the OEM steering stabilizer still on... does that cause issues with the new Falcon?
  5. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Welllll I was able to get it into the 4x4 shop. The guys re-checked/torqued all of the bolts of the new parts, and did a look over of the rest of the front suspension and re-checked the alignment. They summarized that everything checked out - and recommended the seemingly universally hated...

    Thanks for the reply. Did you use those bolts on the LCA's as well? Or just the track bar.

    Thanks for the reply and suggestion. https://teraflex.com/jl-jt-sport-control-arm-kit-front-lower-1-5-3-5-2-5-3-5.html These are the control arms that fit specifically with that lift. I know they are not adjustable, but they are the recommended for this specific lift to correct caster.

    I didn’t install - but they appear to be the factory bolts. By the way - I torqued the bolts to 130# yesterday before I decided to quit and let the shop deal with it. But I’ve read on the JL forums that Teraflex advised people to crank them to 150#s.

    Here’s a video I shot today of the wobble.

    Thanks for the reply. Do you think the bushings would be shot on a brand new Teraflex front track bar?
  11. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Thanks for all of the replies. I slept on it overnight and the best play is to let the 4x4 shop look at it - like they will tomorrow (Monday). I'm hoping that they will be open about the situation, and realize that the problem occurred AFTER the lift was installed. I do want to understand...
  12. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    You are probably right. Thanks. I think I should hold tight from here on out.
  13. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Thanks I will check that tomorrow! Also I will check the ends of the tie rod and drag link.
  14. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    What about the tie rod / drag link? Could those be a cause for the DW? I didn't check / torq those.
  15. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Thanks. Yes I don’t mean to forget a lot of the info you posted. I am not mechanically savvy so a lot of this is information overload - especially for a guy who is trying to figure out why his JT shakes while keeping a 3 year old toddler company, while also trying to support my wife who is busy...

    Yeah I called discount and asked and they said if the tire was installed at the time and balanced - it doesn’t necessarily mean they all should have weights.
  17. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Ball Joints? Don't know how to check that. The 4x4 shop will hopefully check them over. Although, like I mentioned - I had this lift on for a week and have had zero issues with a wobble before then.. Tire PSI? Was at 34psi. Tire balance? See other post regarding weights.
  18. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Ya know, I just took a look..... I can't say what were on there before but this is what I found: LF had multiple weights LR had three or four weights RF had zero weights? RR had a few less then the LF it appeared Hmmm.... Is that odd for the RF to have zero weights? Would an imbalance...
  19. It happened to me: Death Wobble after spacer lift. Help!

    Well I went out and checked/re-torqued the: Front track bar @ 110# Lower Control Arms @ 190# Took it for a test drive and still have the same wobble hitting the same bump at 70mph. Damn.
