Did these Friday. 170k on the originals. Still no change in the speed wobble but it feels like it hops around less on the freeway now.
Front end gurus.. I need some advice

So do you have a wobble or a vibration? You mentioned different things and I am just curious. Nothing on mine wobbles or feels loose but again has a slight rumble strip feeling that reverberates and starts around 70 and seems to be hit or miss up to 110.

Goodyear balanced my tires twice and still had a vibration so I took it to discount tire for a road force balancing and that did the trick

Yeah basically this. I can feel it in my legs. Not as much in the wheel anymore since I put the steering stabilizer on. Starts about 70. Haven't tried above 90 lol

The only problem with these rims are you have to hide the weights behind the spokes if you want it to look clean...
It's almost impossible to balance the wheels correctly doing this but I'm sure your like me and not about to use hammer on weights around the lip or stacking weights on one of the open portions of the rim and making it look like shit.
I'm going to just live with my issue for now unless it gets worse, let us know if road force balancing fixes your issue.
What steering stabilizer did you use? I've been thinking about one on my '02 Denali. I'm running 26" Dubs on a 2/3 drop and although it steers great after rebuilding the front end, it does tend to follow grooves in the road a bit. I'm thinking a stabilizer might help but they all say they won't work on a Denali although I know that's not true.

I installed this
KYB SS15326
Fits great except it's supposed to use an existing skid plate hole and the Denali uses a different skid plate so the hole isn't threaded. It's a straight through holes. I just put a longer bolt with a nut on the other end.
Thanks!
I should ask you also: do you recommend a stabilizer? I've heard good and bad about them- the bad being that they don't really help with drift or they make the steering feel weird.
