More Flex
They guy who previously owned my ride apparently slapped together some anonymous lift that raises the ride pretty high but provides very little flex. I think maybe the springs in the front are too long they appear to be buckling outwards a bit. Can i replace the springs and shocks on their own to give me some flex or will it just not match up right. Not sure about the rear leaf springs either. Maybe I should look into replacing with a new kit?

I dont have a sway bar and if by death wobble you mean crazy swerving feelings at high speeds then yes haha. Seems to be an alltogether crappy set up, no flex and no control either.

take a pic from underneath the front end of your jeep. try to get a shot of everything from the left wheel to the right including all the steering linkages and whatnot.

Post up a pic like caged said and we'll see what the problem is. Could be a number of reasons why your handling is bad, including bad steering linkage.

That's not death wobble. Death Wobble is when your Jeep shakes so badly you think the world is coming to an end. It feels like you're leaving every single bolt behind and you expect it to fall apart any minute. Sounds like an exaggeration, but anyone who has felt it will agree.

yes I will agree with this. DW makes you grab the steering wheel really tight and scream like a little girl.
lol JK But ya DW is when your rig shakes horribly and you can tell when you have DW. It SUCKS BADLY!!!! then you fix it and everything is all good
