Steering stabilizer suggestions!?

So i kinda got some tire wobble from about 30 mph until 45 mph and it stops

i was told it could be fixed with a steering stabilizer or a dual S.S. set up

and i was wondering if anyone had any reviews or suggestions?

Has it always been there or did it start recently? Anything suspension related done to the truck recently? Might be death wobble:

Sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't.
But it has been doing it off and on since i've had it.
and no nothing recent done. And i got a steering stabilizer with the
truck when i got it but no hardware for it.

Well if the stock stabilizer has been removed or is worn out, try the new one you have. It may help. I had fairly bad DW on my '85 about 10 yrs. ago and thought I had a bad stabilizer so put on a new one and it did almost nothing to help. Fixed the cause of the DW and all was fine.

Bad caster angle, as noted in the web page link posted earlier.
