Sorry about this post. I was more *insert mad words here* than anything and just posted this without thinking.
I know what I need to do, now that I've calmed down. I just worked so hard it really ticked me off that I have so many issues. Oh well!

When you lifted the jeep did you drop you transfer case?
I did a 2" budget booost on my 98 and it vibed like hell. A quick tranny drop fixed all that
That is a great write up for DW, lifting the jeep stresses out your steering. Making sure all your stuff is in good condition will help greatly

Im sick of mine. I did everything and it still vibrates. SYE, new driveshaft, new this new that. I will give all my lift junk, "its all new" to anyone that helps me put my original parts back on. I have wayyyyyyy to much time and money into it to keep throwing cash at it, what a waste.

In-driveway alignment and new front sway bar links (old ones broke when I was taking them off so i was running no sway bars.) and the death wobble is now a slight bump steer. I can live with that.
As for the vibes, the kit is in the mail. Will report back once it's installed. I've been soaking the bolts with pb blaster for the past week. Hope it's not another shock bolt story. N

I'm gonna do the joints after I drop the tc.
And I have been spraying it inside the frame rail. There is a small hole in the crossmember that I've been spraying into.
