Tires aren't it, they didn't wobble before lift.
Its been aligned by a shop
New ZJ tie rod and tre
New drag link
New stabilizer
lca hole fixed
Aftermarket adjustable track bar, axle centered
Front DS removed no change

(Let me know if anything's wrong or i missed it)

Are you sway bar links quick discos? Either way, try disconnecting it see if there are any changes.

Maybe take it back to where you had the alignment done tell them it needs redone.

Check all the bushings again, upper control arms both aides, lower control arms.

Also maybe rotate the tires, make sure one of em didn't just lose a weight or something.
All bushings are good. Ill double check everything tho

Hey would a drop pitman arm make any difference in possibly fixing the death wobble?

It'd help make your track bar and drag link more parallel (don't know what they look like right now) but that really only helps with bump steer. Not so much death wobble.

Have you checked out your ball joints and hubs? Another thing to consider.

At the bracket? Or the bar itself?

At the tie rod and the bar itself. I talked to a guy from Rusty's off road and he said to make sure the castle nuts are tight with thread lock and that would fix the tie rod up and down movement

Should've went double shear, whatever brand its better than using a TRE. I'd also check around the, mount make sure the frame hasn't cracked or anything.

Honestly if I were you I'd return that TB or exchange it for a double shear Rustys

Relatively simple if you rent/borrow/ buy a ball joint press. Press out old, press in new.

My father in law has the ball joint kit. Is there anything that has to happen right after replacing them?

Would lower control arm bushings and/or sway bar bushings cause death wobble?
