Maybe it has a little DW? Or driveline vibrations from the lift.
Double check for sure.

He said theres no wobble at even interstate speeds but i havent drivin it yet. Some other people said it could be not having an sye kit.

Could be from not having a SYE or TCase drop. However could be something else, as in I have a 4.5" lift and no SYE or TCase drop. And have no vibrations or death wobble even when I get the Jeep up to like 75-80.

Get underneath there and have a look at the driveshaft and your transfer case output. Try to shake the shaft. If its nice and tight that's good, but if there's any give that's bad.

Just general stuff, check it out
