If you would like you can send us an e-mail with a picture of your drag link and track bar relations. At that 4" lift height we would assume that a drag link flip or drop pitman arm would be needed. The drop pitman arm is not our recommendation as it puts extra leverage and stress on the steering box. We can set you up with the Synergy drag link flip kit if needed.
Our e-mail is sales@smashboogie4x4.com
We can also set you up with a long arm kit if that is the direction you want to go, however the long arm kit most likely will not correct your vibration issue.

I know this might sound dumb but did the shop that installed your new wheels remove the little star washer that's on your wheel stud? JK's come from the factory with 1 star washer per brake rotor to hold them in place. The stock JK wheels are counter sunk so the mounting surface of the wheel sits flush on the hub. Most aftermarket wheels aren't counter sunk, so the little star washer must be removed in order for your wheels to mount flush to the rotor hub.
I've heard of this happening to others so it might be worth checking out...

A speed related wobble is usually a balance issue. Had similar experience as you. After lift and 35's I would get a wobble/shake at 45-55mph. Any slower or faster it was gone. had them re-balanced but still had symptoms. Rotation came and took them in and had a RoadForce balance done and a rotate and problem solved. I had heard great things about the RoadForce balance but didn't really buy into the hype but was pretty impressed at how it worked and the results. Just my experience with a similar wobble.

Yep, don't see it being anything too big but it's annoying trying to pin point it. Double check all your torque settings and then maybe a balance. Definitely has nothing to do with your steering stabilizer
