Default violent shakinf after lift

Just finished the lift and went to go for a test drive was making some creaking from the leafs but ill assume that's normal I broke on of the front sway bar links so I didn't put it on of course but I was going about fifty and hit a bump in the road and the car started shaking horrible like the front tires were falling off until I pulled over and then drove fine again I did not relocate the trac bar yet do my tc drop or the pitman arm is that the problem or is could it be something else

It's called Death Wobble buddy & there's 2 causes: one is when you write a looong sentence with no punctuation like commas or periods.


The other cause of Death wobble is ... well something is out of whack with your suspension - quite often the track bar mounts or some other component is loose. It can take a while to troubleshoot this, but start with the track bar. Ya might get lucky.
