are you still buying the adjustable trac bar you have been talking about ?
Waiting to figure out the problem with death wobble first. Dealership is now blaming it on the tires but they are 50/60% and they said they are wore out. As soon as I get the problem solved I'm pulling the trigger on wheels tires and a level or lift not sure yet. Trying to get everything straightened out first so I can pull the trigger asap.

a droptrac bar is usually paired with a drop pitman arm to keep the geometry in check
a 1.5 lift will shift your axle a little to the driver side
but I am not sure how much ,, ? this may be an excuse for you to get the adjustable trac bar
the dealer may be on the right track with the tires good luck

Anybody got a set of tires you can borrow??? LOL
A local tire shop called michelin and is trying to get me a set warrantied. They said michelin won't be to happy that ford is blaming it on them. So we will see where that goes. Other than that in gonna take my two best tires and put them on front and see what that does if michelin won't help.

I will say I had a Ford work truck that would get a death wobble with Michelins
when they were getting warn this happened every time they were getting to their end but not bald by any means
i never really cared because it was just a work truck

Death wobble is related to a loose track arm, either the bushing at the frame bracket or the ball joint on the axle. The bushing has to be torqued to 410 Ft. Lbs.
I dealt with this and fixed (Blamed) everything until I replaced the poly bushing with a heim and torqued it to 400+.
Before I got the 500lb tq wrench and did it right I could tell and feel when it was getting loose, one bump on the highway each day let me know.
Good luck, but that's where i'd start.
