DW!!! Haha. I hate them, I now describe my jeep to friends as "Unsafe at high speeds" or "incapable of highway driving" or "We might die if we drive it on the highway..." or some variation of this. I'm lifted 4.5" up front and 4" in the back. Replaced the track bar with this: http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/Products/TB.html which is solid as **** to put it simply. Also bought his LCA's which should be going in as we speak as well as getting that added double shear bolt on welded up. And rough country's longer disconnect sway bar link. Hopefully this will fix it, but I'm thinking I should have gone with steering before arms...
Long story short. I want to kill death wobbles. Which after the track bar is just now a bad bump steer. but still.

For bump steer you'll wanna match the angles between the draglink and the trackbar, not sure what your setup currently looks like so no clue where you need to go in that one. I dont think a 1 ton setup or anything of the sort is gonna do much on that aspect (I may be wrong though, please correct me if I am)
For dw though, worn steering could most certainly contribute, and personally i went with a 1ton upgrade just because I like to do things once (my craps getting worn out hence my order of the setup) and feel its worth the extra work.
Dw can be tricky and a number of parts, or a combination of parts.
If you havnt already I'd start here with it. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/di...-wobble-55021/
Good luck with your diagnosis and decisions!

If I had my jeep at the moment I would go take a pic... I'll get one up tomorrow for sure. I'm thinking of the ZJ set up with the ZJ pitman arm for the inch drop and stronger tie rod.
