I had the same problem with my jk unlimited. I did all the same things. I finally fixed it after I replaced all the steering joints it fixed it. Hope this may help

Ok, come to find my rear track bar was loose... like never tightened after the lift install at all. Tightened it up (a lot bolts were actually falling out) and replaced my steering stabilizer ( old one leaked all the fluid out ). I have hit every bump, pothole that brought it on before and it gone! Solid and drives perfect...

Glad you found out what the problem was and everything is ok. You have to have good follow through when you get to this height in lifting and re checking all of your bolts and being aware of which to look into regarding problems is very important.

Since this has occurred numerous times wouldn't hurt to check and make sure your track bar bolt holes aren't wallowed out. Especially the bracket on the axle.

There does seem to be a very very little movement while I had the wife turn the wheel as I was under the jeep... suggestions?

Their are many more causes for death wobble my friend. Track bar is just the most common.
