I installed it an drove it for 2 days no problems at all then all of a sudden a horrible death wobble accours. I was driviing it at 70+ mph no problems then out of no where it happens . Please any an all help is very much appreciated.

i was gona say your wheel bearings but u say ther good so aligment... opinion tho not for sure, but it makes sense u gota get everything adjusted after a lift... but a 3 inch lift tho u would think everything would be ok, lug nuts n studs are all good?

i rechecked everything is tight nothing seems out of place at all . i lifted my old zj 3.4 inches an never had an aligment problem or anything . thats what is stumped me . this isnt my first lifted cherokee. Could it be as easy as the steering stablizer went due to the angle of the steering all of a sudden?????????????

buy a heavy duty Steering Stabilizer.. OReileys has a Rancho 5000 for $60
also.. you stock control arm bushings may be shot..
Alignment may be your ticket!

yes. Air psi in tires. stabilizer and even the stock pitman arm may be the cause of the "death wobble." Every cherokee Ive owned has had a little wobble in it especially at 70mph. Check for a bent wheel or wheel weights being off (knocked off sometime or another). If I had it in my shop, I would go through the basics first, being the basic checks. Then I would definately look into buying a drop pitman arm.
