Delta VS Radius Arms

[PeterTheBeater]

I think it’s just the geometry of new arms which allows more flex, with lifted everything else. There isn’t a particular single thing, and no alignment/bushings can fix it. Yes, old suspension hardware and bearings can exacerbate the problem, but it’s the geometry itself. Just like the jeeps and death wobble.

Also, I want to believe that some people on 3” 37s don’t need a DC, but I won’t believe them until I drive their truck

Don’t get me wrong, I love coming out to my truck and seeing that shiny DELTA plate under it, and telling myself I’ve got the best of the best $1500 arms, but they didn’t really do much for me, except needing a $400 DC

There's no one root cause for a death wobble. It could be many things but I would also check for cracks at the steering box as well as the radius arm mounts.

I have a friend that was chasing the same issue. checked everything the panhard bushing looked good as did everything else.
In the end he put new bushing in the Panhard and it fixed the issue.
This sh*t is now 30 years old and need to be replaced, I did all of mine as preventive maintenance no Death wobble

Aa a baseline, replace all bushings including engine&trannny mounts is a must.

I still haven't replaced the OEM body mounts yet on all my 80s

Here you go-proof. 37s on 3.75" fronts & 4" rears (terrain tamer smart coils) and stock drive shafts
