The dual fabtech one someone mentioned is what I'm going to put on next, I've noticed my damper has been giving a little more than it did when I first put it on. I guess these big heavy ass wheels really give the stabilizer a beating!

It looks like this whole wobble issue is more of an issue with the 00-06 models, over the 07 up. I could not imagine having to use stabilizers just for the barely noticable wobble I have?
Maybe the wobble is made worst for you guys by a worn suspension part(s) somewhere?

Ya but what wheels do you have.....these bastards I think are 90lbs each that I have. Far cry from the stockers man, I was shocked when I picked the wheels up the first day fully aired up. I asked the guy, "so how much heavier than stock are these...is it much?"

Ya...its "much" LOL!

first time I had wobble I freaked out and thought my tires were horribly off balance
good thing I got buddies with big rims to tell me the woes
JK did yours really make a big difference?
like noticeably less.. do you still have any wobble?

I put on the same one, it was a tremeeendous difference man...night and day. I think chistoso put on the same one too and was really happy with it.

I can't seem to find the dual fabtech one now..but when I do, I'll post a link up.

Yeah man I have 24s and I know that with the tire they weigh in at about 90Lbs, about 45Lbs for the tire and then another 45Lbs -50 Lbs for the wheel.

Made a big difference. The wheels seemed to bounce and wobble whenever I hit any bumps/imperfections in the road and it would transmit through to the steering wheel. Right after I installed it, all the wobble was gone. Lately I noticed it started to wobble slightly again. I got underneath the truck and noticed a couple bolts on one of the brackets for the stabilzer started coming loose. I tightened them back up and all is well again. So yeah, the stabilizer helps a lot.
