Default Zj death wobble help

I got a 95 grand cherokee just bought recently. 2 weeks after buying I hit a bump and got death wobble so bad i had to come to a complete stop. Then a few days later it got to where I could only go so fast and I would get death wobble bad wouldn't even have to hit a bump. Now I've put a lift kit on it new control arms shocks and springs. The track bar bushings looked bad so i bought a adjustable track bar. I hit 70 mph and no wobble so I thought it was fixed but as soon as I hit a bump at high speed it got death wobble but at low speed it doesn't. The wheel bearings don't seem bad it has stock tires on it cause my bigger tires made everything worse. The only thing I can see is the tire rod boot by the steering box is ripped. Please help

So many threads on this and articles on Google, basically something is worn. Look,shake and rattle.

Figure it out.

Welcome to the forum.

This reply shows all the parts I replaced on my Up Country suspension group ZJ, to restore new handling.

Many have difficulty replacing the bushings pressed into the top of the front axle w/o using the specified special tool.
