I removed the stock steering stabilizer on mine and attempted to drive it to go have the ram mounts welded on. I could not drive a block without a serious wobble anything over like 10mph

52's in the front. *look at my alignment and tell me what you think*

I've never had a steering stabilizer on the truck with no problems until now after I swapped to the dana 60 and 52's.
Just to say it outloud... the king pins on the D60 in good shape? Good springs?

I don't see anything wrong with the caster. I say leave it.
Other things may be moving if unstable.

I rebuilt the entire axle just before I put it under the truck. So everything should be good.
It's not so unstable now, just death wobble.
On a plus side, I charged the A/C while I had it in the shop and it blows COLD now...
I hate you now...

Haha, I actually had to turn it off on my way home tonight, it was getting alittle too cold. I hope it stays that way in the middle of summer.
Well I need a some zero rates in the front to level the truck out. Can you do a zero rate that has the correction built in, or is this something I need to PM or call you about?
We can discuss it via PMs.
A little more caster will help, and another thing would be the upper shackle bushings. Are you still running the stock bushings there at the frame mount? 52's killed mine fast. I upgraded to Kerts kit and it really helped a lot. Even just new bushings if yours are stock will probably help.
I'm running Kert's kit with all new poly bushings.
Kert, I'll send you a PM alittle later, I'm trying to do the rear brakes on my 05 z71 and my 2.5 year old won't leave me alone...
