Frequently Asked Questions

What actually causes “death wobble” on 13–18 Rams?

Usually a combination of worn ball joints, loose/bent track bar bushings, tired tie-rod ends, or a weak steering box. Our baseline fix: adjustable track bar, HD ball joints, upgraded linkage, stabilizer, and a steering box brace—then align and re-torque.

Dual stabilizer vs. FOX ATS—what’s better?

Dual kits add damping and resist shimmy on big tires. The FOX ATS through-shaft unit offers non-position-sensitive damping and precise control without adding side-load to linkage.

Will a 2" level clear 35s?

Typically yes on 2014–2018 Ram 2500 with correct wheel offset/backspacing; check tire/wheel specs and consider minor fender liner trimming depending on combo.

Do I need traction bars on a tow rig?

If you experience axle wrap or driveshaft shudder under load, traction bars can stabilize launches and reduce U-joint stress—popular for lifted trucks and tuned setups.
