Default my jeep starts to wobble at 45mph

Asoon as I hit 45 my jeep starts to wobble and gets worse as speed increases. I recently put a 3 inch lift on and new steering stabilizer about 2 weeks ago. I had the death wobble before but that was if I hit a bump over 60mph but all the sudden it is doing this now someone please help. Thanks!

Check your trackbar. Have some one turn the steering wheel and look for any movement. Check all nuts and bolts to torque specs. Don't know what there are tho. Sorry.

If it's happening at a set speed your tires may need to be rebalanced. 45 is a good speed for that to start happening.

Are you running a lift? Check the control arm bushings. I'm assuming you checked the track bar and draglink and tie rod.

Does it vibrate when you decelerate and hit the brakes too? Or only on acceleration?

Check ball joints. Control arm bushing, tie rods, wheel bearings and track bar
