Thumbs down Death Wobble

i have 96 xj and it has death wobble very very bad. i have a 4.5" lift on it and 35's, i thought it was the trac bar, so i bought and adjustable one from Rustys offroad. i installed it and got my jeep centered on the front axle, and it still does it. i have a rough country steering stabilizer on it, but im not replacing it because it only masks the problem, but dont fix it. i cant go over 25mph or it shakes so bad that i can see the inside on my tire. I need to replace my LCA bushings, but rough country doesnt make them anymore. so i will have to get LA's. i just need advice on what yall think is wrong with it

Any worn suspension component will cause death wobble.

I put new adj. Lower control arms from Rustys offroad and I put a new pitman arm tie-rod. It was my bushings on my old control arms, they were shot.
But its fixed now
