But would that cause this severe vibration?

Ok so i did my lift this past weekend with v8 grand cherokee springs and isolators and lift shackles in the rear netting total of about 3.5 inches of lift with my 235s then when on my way to work the next morning i could not go above 45 or death wobble would be severe and today went to tire shop to get front end aligned and wheels balanced and when the jeep was up on the rack the mechanic asked why i was getting it aligned because it already was (I had just aligned it 2 weekends ago)
so i started telling him i thought that was what was causing my death wobble and he said well let me get under here and check it all out and then he grabbed the track bar and it had a bunch of play so he told me to go get me a track bar and put it on so i did and talked the advance guys ten dollars down on the price of a new one and got it put on after a pain in the tail 5 hours of work and now the daeth wobble did not show up until i hit a big bump at 55 but on the highway i had it up to 80 with no vibes so now i dont know what to fix next??? I had several issues with the lift and track bar but i am really lucky i did not break any bolts and did everything with out pb blaster and only with hand tools

Air intake, Royal Purple Fluids, Led light bulbs for the old yellow lights in the dash, Some bilstein shocks and whatever else you could think of, Maybe a flow 44 if your into that.
