Shaking side to side at high speeds after drop

First I would get the track bar re-alignment thing from Belltech if you don't have that already. Second upgrade and probably the best would be a rear swaybar from Hellwig. That's supposed to really help with the problem. I'm sure a few other things like adjustable track bar and better shocks would probably help too, but for sure Hellwig swaybar. If you search this topic you will see plenty of replies about the problem and fixes.

So like the title says, this weekend I installed some belltech 4" drop springs and bumps tops on my ram leaving the stock shocks. I did do the sway bar adapter too. So tonight going about 85 - 90 I switched lanes and I almost lost control of the truck. It kept going side to side really bad. Had to brake to get it back to control. Any thoughts?

This problem "80mph rear death wobble" is due to your rear control arms being pulled upward and not being level also because the rear pinion angle being off due to the four inch rear drop. To solve the problem you will need to install a rear axle relocation kit from IHC. They have a relocation kit that does not require any cutting, this is good for up to a five inch rear drop. They also have another relocation kit that does require cutting that is good up to a seven inch drop. Here are the link to check them out. Here is a pic of my Ram with the "cut kit" installed and a five inch rear drop. Once cool thing about these relocation kits is they will also recenter your rear axle after the drop, if you look at your rear axle now you will see it is pulled forward about an inch. If your have questions about this or lowering your Ram please PM me anytime.
