Default HELP!! What is wrong with my jeep?

Ok so here is the back story...I had 33's n my jeep with my 4 inch lift, I bought 37's but havent had enough time yet to get them mounted. So right now I have my fathers set of stock radials on my jeep with the four inch lift. All the lugnuts are nice and tight ive checked multiple times. When I hit a bump on the highway more whole jeep rattles and wobbles and I almost spin out I have to jam on on the breaks and pull over to the breakdown lane. What the hell is wrong with my jeep??? nothing happened between the time I took my 33's off and put stock tires on. I checked Tire pressure checked the lugnuts everything. It is to the point where I am scared to drive my jeep but I cant get my tires on till wednesday

Sounds like Death Wobble. Check the front track bar bolts.

its way worse than death wobble, I have felt death wobble in jeeps, this feels like my axels are going to fall out from under my jeep and I dont know how I would have suddenly gotten death wobble just from the tire change?

So, is there a point where it's so bad it is no longer considered death wobble?

I never had it when I had my bigger tires on, and it happened the first time I ever drove on the little tires

Sorry but not much we can do over the Internet but suggest things to check. What you do with that information is up to you.

I'd get out there and check the bolts because it sounds like something is loose. I'd start with the track bar and go from there.
