Default shaky/wobbly steering

I installed a 2 1/2" Rough Country springs and shocks lift kit on my 2007 Unlimited approx one and half years ago. Recently I have notiiced a moderate shake/wobble in the steering between highway speeds of 55 and 60. Has anyone experienced this and what was your solution?

Default Ball joints

I had a steering wheel shake at the same speed. Had the pos stock ball joints replaced with dynatracs and the shake disappeared. Could also need a wheel alignment.

Is the shaking happening when you hit bumps or on smooth road? Could be out of balance tire, worn ball joints, loose track bar or worn control arm bushings. Search for Planmans DW checklist.
