loose tierod jam nut

got the death wobbble... I checked the jam nut on the tierod and it was loose. hmmmm
I have a 85 4runner with the Howe kit.
I tried to push the L tierod forward and the R back so they would limit the wobble of the rod. but the ram has so much power it will make the nut losse in 5 min of driving. Should i tac the nut? or a 2nd nut?
I think i should take it to the Almt guys and let them play with it.
what do you think ?
thanks
