Default Death wobble

I seem to have this constant shake in he front with every little bump it feels like it want to take off in a full dw but doesn't but makeup hard to drive wondering what I can do to cure it I've balanced the tires had it on the alignment rack a lot and yet nothing seems to be out of wack I've checked the track bar bushings they are all tight I'm running dual skyjacker stabilizers idk what else to do

I just ended this problem...

installed Teraflex track bar, new ball joints and steering stabilizer. Then had the front end aligned. Drives like a champ.

I had gone a bit over 40k before the issue started. Jeep is no help with this problem. I had been to multiple shops trying to get it fixed. In the end $$ on new parts and labor was the solution.

Did you torque everything back down after your lift break in period? Also make sure that track bar is tight. Takes a lot of torque to get it to spec.
