Death Wobble...i know i know
I was dealing with DW for about a year off and on. Even though I took it to a shop and everything was said to be okay. Last month I took it to another place to get checked out. I ended up needing ball joints and tire rod ends. I am running a 3 inch lift and have 62K on my jeep. I am not sure if your ball joints are the problem but I would have them checked out. I wish you luck trying to figure out the problem.

another update
so today, once again i went on a search for the cause of my deathwobble. i rotated my tires, checked every bolt AGAIN and have each bolt a good hit with my impact gun. everything looked good except for my drivers side upper arm frame side mount which i got a couple of turns out of. but besides that, everything looks top notch. ball joints are good. the only thing that is questionable is my pitman arm joint on the knuckle, it pops up and down a little when turning the wheel left and right
and my very slight trackbar bushing flex
