Default Death Wobble due to Tires

Replaced the trackbar with a Rusty's adjustable today. Front end has been lined up. No issues until putting on the the 3" lift and the used wheels and tires. Death wobble still at 55-60 mph. Chance the tires are the problem? Going to put the factory wheels and tires back on tomorrow and see if that fixes it.

could be, especially since you got them used. They may not be balanced right

Unbalanced or damaged tires can easily induce death wobble.

Put the old 225's on the jeep with the factory steel wheels and no more death wobble. So hopefully that is what was causing it all along. Going to try to order some new 245/75-16 Cooper's later this month.
