Anything over 2" on short arms makes chances of developing DW more likely.

I have an earlier model with 2" OME lift. I get a death wobble if the car is empty and i hit a pot hole around 70 - 90. If i accelerate to 110 it goes and if i break to 60 it goes. Ive been told its the steering dampener but I haven't done anything about it. Just break when i can and accelerate when i have to!

If you have worn components DW can occur at even stock height.
