Death wobble
« on: Aug 21, 2012, 11:03:47 PM »
You'd be amazed at what the proper toe will do. This was the ticket for my rig when all else failed.

The alignment shop can't align with my beadlocks, and I was astonished to find that after putting on some stock 29" (?) tires I couldn't drive over even 30 mph!! The whole truck was violently shaking! The term death wobble had never been so relevant. I had even drove to the shop moments earlier with my 37s doing 70 on the freeway like it was nothing.

So just the pure mass of our large Rock Crawling tires is enough to cover up a whacked toe adjustment.

After they aligned it I could immediately go any speed I wanted on the lil 29s. I was completely blown away. Truck looked real cute with the stock tires too hhahahaha
