Default lift problems

i put my new lift on today,along with rc quick disco's and front adjustable lca's, and everything went fine, till the test drive after it was all finished up

i know i need to recenter my steering wheel, its a half-turn to the right, and it keeps kicking the esp/bas light and jerks and cuts the power back, but once the light stays on, it quits.

also there is a terrible shimmy/wobble, but only when i hit a bump, then it starts shaking and jerking all over the road.
i have to come to a complete stop, then start up the road again, and its fine till i hit another bump....is this death wobble?

i went over all the suspension bolts with an impact, so i know they are all tight

would a steering stabilizer and front end allignment fix this?

also my dumbass reused the stock front trackbar, till mine shows up.....damn post office tracking number doesnt work

would the track bar be the cause of it?

i got the adjustable track bar on, and recentered the steering wheel, and that was a big difference.

i just ordered an rc dual steering stabilizer and i'm goin for a front end allignment on friday

i got everything as close as i could, and it made a big difference

i found out that the balljoints on the front are about shot, didn't even know they were

and autozone doesn't carry balljoints for the jk's yet, so its either carquest or the dealership
