Death Wobble Fix...? I think

Those of you with the Death wobble after putting spacers in on the 3rd Gen. I was thinking why not get the 05 06 power wagen control arms and springs, they are longer and will give you the 2in lift, and they are stock...

i think they would be too soft. wont the spring rate be different because of the weight difference between the ctd and a gasser?

I think your correct in your assumption, but what I think would happen is you'd just have some sag in the front, we're talking a difference of about 500 lbs, that's like having 2 fat guys in the front seats......

Like I said in the other post, the springs won't work under a heavy CTD. Springs do not cause death wobble, spacers do not cause death wobble.

Are you sure that the Power Wagon control arms are longer than standard control arms?

The only way to cure death wobble is to get a new steering stabilizer, didn't you get the memo?

How bout using the 05 06 control arms off of the PW and using the aftermarket springs that are available?

Found these on E Bay



These control arms came off a 2005 Dodge Ram Power Wagon. The truck had 8000 miles on it. They should work on both 2500 and 3500 trucks. See my other auctions for Dodge Power Wagon items. The power wagons have 1.8 inches of lift over a stock 2500. This is done with long arms, springs, and long travel shocks.
