5100 wobble on newer trucks?

[fadetoblack188]

Looking to install 5100s to level mine and my buddies truck. A 2018 and a 2014. Are these trucks still have 4x4 death wobble with the bilstein 5100s?

Death wobble was a solid front axle thing ... Not a worry with IFS

The death wobble also has nothing do with shocks.

Not in 4th gen 1500 as we have IFS

as stated, death wobble doesn't apply to IFS.

Now under harder acceleration in 4 wheel drive you might get some vibration but that's it.

Our version of the death wobble is caused more by bad tie rod ends/ball joints/pitman arm type of issues. Not the shocks/struts ilunless you have a destroyed upper strut mount that’s letting the top of the struts wobble every which way. Which isn’t likely.

Probably due to heavy tires/wheels that aren’t balanced properly which the majority of people use and stuff in 35s and/or 12”+ wide wheels.

They designed these half tons with a suspension to accommodate 70-80# rotational corners.
