Default what does this mean?

I've had my 2.5" TF coil lift on for about a month now and 35" toyos and MORE body lift on for 2 weeks, and the steering feels pretty good, but I do notice that sometimes when I hit a bump the jeep will slowely start going left and then i'll hit another bump and the jeep will slowely start going right, all while I'm holding the steering wheel straight. I haven't done anything in regards to front track bar, control arms or steerig stabilizer. Basically what I am wondering is what is causing this, and is it something wrong, or just that I need to upgrade some components to keep up with the lift and tires... hope that made at least a little sense. Cheers!

I retorqued once already, but I guess I will do so again. For all I know, this is what tires this big feel like.... I was a bit hung over this morning and I think every movement was amplified.... I will recheck all fastereners tommorow and report back though, cuase i don't want this to be a problem.

I had an RC 2.5" lift and I don't have any issues at all so I would definitely investigate since something must be wrong.
