Well got the lift on but...someone put studs in the crossmember. So I need to get these out to install the transfer case drop kit. Any ideas?

Screw two nuts onto the stud and tighten them against one another. You need to get them pretty tight, but do some trial and error so you don't deform the threads on the stud. To remove the stud (by turning the stud counter clockwise) you would put your wrench on the bottom nut. Because it is jammed against the top nut, the bottom nut should not turn on the stud, but the stud should turn with the nut.

Or use a piece of 1" square tubing and just use the stud on each side.

Yea death wobble is in the front end mine was caused by bad upper and lower control arm bushings. But can be caused by numerous things.
