Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fix “death wobble” on a 2nd Gen?

Start with a tight track bar and solid linkage, then add a steering box brace/stabilizer. Worn ball joints and shocks also contribute—see our HD bars, braces, and joints above.

Which track bar fits 1994–1998 trucks?

Both the CPP Extreme Duty Adjustable Track Bar (94–02) and BD 1032011-F cover 94–98 fitment with adjustable length and serviceable joints.

Do I need a steering box brace?

Highly recommended on lifted or high-mileage 2nd Gens. Popular choices include the Synergy 8557-04, BD 1032004, and our CPP stabilizer.

What shocks work well on these trucks?

Bilstein 5100s are a proven upgrade for stability and control; match part numbers to your lift height.

My power steering feels weak with big tires—options?

Upgrade to a Borgeson 800328 hi-flow pump and inspect the steering shaft—see the Borgeson 000945 shaft for 1994 models.
