anyone got a good way to get rid of my death wobble?
i got a drop pitman that'll lower it about 1.5" and an adjustable track bar maybe that will help

I don't think those are going to fix your death wobble.
My first instinct is that your short arms are screwing up your caster. You just aren't supposed to run 6"+ on a short arm. Check all the bushings, but a long/radius arm might be your best bet at this point.
Oh, and getting rid of that front bumper might help :flipoff2:

but maybe just some control arm drop brackets could help

Caster being off is likley your biggest culprit. You dont nessicarily need a LA but the arms should be longer than they would be for a 3.5" lift. Work on figureing that out first before you start with anything else. To ideally set your camber you'll need adjustable uppers, and at least a set of drop brackets for the lowers, if not a whole new pair (also adjustable).

Good lawd, why would you post pictures of that? At least you know what you are doing wrong though. Get your caster back to normal and you should be in good shape.

i think that you all are confusing camber with caster.
