what do you mean by 'it screams'...if you have a death wobble...then its more likely the rotors are warped

Default screams

when i say it screams i mean that the wobble is so intense that my jeep is screaming at me to slow down it seems. Just a metaphore. and i didnt have the death wobble before the lift install so what else could it be?
