Default Death wobble with a twist,your thoughts?

Ok, so before anybody lights me up about using the search button or google, i have, so.... My xj is a 93 4x4 185k auto, when i bought it, it was stock with no wobble. I then put junkyard zj front springs in with one more stock isolator for a little boost because i installed a snowplow. I hit the same bump everyday at approx 40 mph and get death wobble but with the snowplow on i hit the same bump at any speed and no wobble at all...??? So, now im thinking its an aligment issue as the added weight of the plow obviously changes the alignment, do you guys agree??? Makes sense doesnt it??? Thanks in advance

you lifted it, therefore you need an alignment. the plow puts it back down to near stock height...
