Details on the lift? Stock track bar? Stock control arms? Tire size?

Did you get an alignment done post lift? Other than that as everyone else said, check the track bar

Did the lift kit come with a track bar there girl. Is it stock too. Check joints and TRE too. Might have some worn out parts. Lots of things changed with the new center of gravity

You likely need to ditch the stock track bar and get yourself an adjustable, preferably double-shear.

Got my alignment today and ordered a new moog track bar and steering stabilizer! Hopefully this will keep the death wobble away

you should cancel that order and get an adjustable, which is what you need for a lifted Jeep.

That steering stabilizer will cover up death wobble, not help fix it.
