Default death wobble

Hey I have a 99 xj and was getting the death wobble bad. Fixed most everything in the front that I could think of like the tie rod drag link all new bushings in the controll arms. The problem was gone and today i installed the acos spacers. Now it is back Could i need new controll arms ones that are adjustable? I have the 4.5" rubicon express lift and 33" tires. and I was told that the ball joints were good still. Or is it the alignment is off again

you loosen the collar by pitman arm adjust out so the center to center measures 1/4 to 1/8 smaller in the front of front tires to the rear of front tires
