Default 3" budget lift

1999 XJ w/ 3" budget lift. Rides great until at speed over 60mph I hit a bump in the road & XJ goes completely bat sh** w/ death wobble. I understand that there can be many contributing factors for death wobble, does this symptom narrow down the possibilities?
Thanks for any info....

track bar bushings or bolt/nut might be loose, tire balance. those 2 are the most known for, check out ball joints, hub....etc

x2 on what Unleashed posted. With just a 3in lift I would suspect worn bushings, ball joints etc..
