I was told by the steering specialty shop where i got my steering stabilzer from never to use moog,or I would be taking them out asap.If you search out moog on this forum you will find problems associated with using them.They too often seem to be linked to DW.

Over 15K on my dura grapplers - bilstein shocks and a replaced stabilizer (can't remember the brand) and no DW.

I'm like BroncoHound on this one. Do yourself, and someone else, a big favor and stop this STUPID behavior before you have to face the consequences of killing someone. Driving at those speeds on a public roadway is not smart and I don't care what influences you were under.

All had been fine for a while and then i put a 2.5 level kit, and changed my front shocks. Then the other night on a bridge i experienced what had to be the death wobble. i nearly fell out! i however was doing 120 and had my fourwheeler in the bed..not sure if that has anything to do with it but im stumped and do not want to have this again. I will check all my front end components tomorrow for worn out parts and then go run the hell out of my truck again. I often go that fast over this particular bridge being me and my buddies race across it often and have yet to have this happen.
I would point the finger at the newly added 2.5" leveling kit. If you did not also install an adjustable track bar and have the truck aligned the death wobble is common.
