DEATH WOBBLE!!!
I have the worst death wobble in the word, my buddy was comparring it to wheel hop its so bad. Im only at 5 inches and 32's with a new adj track bar and steering stabilizer. I used to get it with my 31's only going 30 mph now i get it at 35mph and its terrible. The entire car goes crazy. I tightened everything to spec and the only thing i can think is that ive bent my tie rod a bit, but i had it alligned to fix the tire angle. Any ideas on what i shoud do

So if everything else is in good shape, not sloppy or worn out. Your geomentry is off from the lift. Id say you need more caster adjustment. At 5" lift you should read about 85 deg using a cheap angle finder off your front diff cover bolts. Add some caster with shims at the mounts rear end of your lower control arms. Set your toe at 1/16" in.
