i have a 2006 dodge ram 3500 with a 6" skyjacker suspension life, since i owned the truck at 60000km there has been periods of time when i experience the "death wobble" then it will go away for several months then come back and go away again. I had all the worn out suspension parts replaced and it didnt really seem to make a difference. I reasently put 7000km on my truck in a week and the last 200 km i had about 15 really bad wobbles when my speed reaches over 100km/h, why would this happen and is there anyway that i can get rid of this?

Did you get the truck aligned after suspension lift? The skyjacker insructions should tell you if you need to run additional/less camber,caster/toe after install.

Also check bolt torque, brackets for broken welds.

Also contact Skyjacker and tell them your problem.
