If ur only at 3" lift then u have something going on, theres no way u should have dw. Most ppl dont evn kno wat death wobble is. Its not just vibrations. If u have vibs then u dont have dw. Can u describe ur symptoms

it seems to me like dw

first off it doesnt happen all the time its like every other day or even goes weeks at a time then out of no where boom!!
my steerin wheel goes crazy side to side all fast making me hold on tight to keep it straight the tires go bouncing around all over the place and my favorite of all anyone that sees what me jeep is doin goes into panic pointing and honking at me as i just smile and slow down
and what iv read before is people get dw at a certain speed but when mine happens it just happens at any speed and usual doesn stop till i almost come to a total stop or stop completely.

and im not sure if this is probably my main problem but iv had an alignment done and iv done it a few times myself but it seems that if i very slighty turn my wheel to the left right where it starts to catch out of that inch of free play it starts to throw it into dw like mad
