It's kind of hard to imagine filling a complaint because your vehicle drives like trash because you didn't keep it maintained.
Read planman's write-up, he will walk you through the ins and outs of what death wobble is, and what other similar things often get mistaken as death wobble. Well worth anyone's time.

At this point I'm pretty sure I would be better served working on it myself, at least I would know everything was thoroughly checked BUT I would probably miss a few things since I'm not well versed in all the components of a vehicle. Plus I'm a much more logical person than a "hey let's try this and see what it does" person. No better time to get dirty and learn I guess lol

Apparently the other places I took it to just sucked, but am now having a new trac bar and tie end rods put in...we'll see how it drives Friday when I get it back. And no I had the lift professionally installed and I wouldn't let any of the guys I know fumble around with it for the life of me lol
