Default Road wobble on newly lifted Rubicon Unlimited 10th Anniversary

Hey y'all. I have a 2013 Rubicon Unlimited 10th Anniversary that just had a 4" Pro Comp lift installed along with 20" Rockstar II wheels and 35" Nitto tires. See attached photo. We are getting a lot of "road wobble" now that the lit has been installed. Feels like the wind is blowing me around even if there is no wind. Any suggestions on what would fix this would be greatly appreciated.

alignment was completed. Shop tells me it is because the tires are traveling outside of the "road groves" . Sorry for the ignorance as I am new to this but will the adjustable control arms fix the problem? Another suggestion I read about mentioned a drag link flip kit. what is that and what does it do? Thanks

It included all the suspension components including shocks. Again sorry for ignorance but the kit was delivered to the shop and they put it on. I am assuming it included new lower control arms due to the increase in ride height.

The standard 4" PC lift doesn't come with control arms. Crawl under and look or take a pic if you don't know. If you got an alignment post up your print out.

Stock arms. Your caster will be out which is more then likely giving you that flighty feel.
