So I recently lifted my 1997 Jeep Cherokee from stock to a 3.5 lift. When doing it, I used all new hardware and shocks. After I lifted it, I got the death wobble over 50 MPH. A buddy came over and helped me adjust the toe angle and that nearly cleared it up. Now it does it if I hit a rut or pot hole in the highway at 55+ MPH. I haven't adjusted my caster yet and Im about to go in for an alignment. Anyone have some advice?

does it happen when you hit a bump or when you hit a certain speed?

there are so many things that can cause it and this will help narrow it down (somewhat)

Set toe about 1/16" in, after your 3.5 lift you need to add about 1/8" shims to lower control arms to add caster, on your 97 the LCA's may be cam adjust on the bolt. Good shop charges me for 1 hr to check/adjust mine each year, the rest of the year I play with it and mess it up. Your DW is most probable to come under control with some added caster. Expect all else (joints) is tight and tires are in good condition, with a 3.5 lift your track bar has well reached it's limits and an extended TB may also be in your future. You could redrill the lower TB mount hole about 3/4" to the drivers side would assist. You'll also find good write up on go-jeep.com website.

2 conditions need to be met for it too happen, 1) I must be doing 55+ MPH and 2) I have to hit a nasty poy hole in the road. The death wobble has cleared up a little bit after I adjusted the tow angle. The caster hasn't been adjusted.
