Swallow your pride, and take it to a reputable shop and have it checked over, so you pay 40/50 bucks, they tell you whats wrong, tell'em you'll bring it back, and then fix it yourself.

did you get new arms? control arm bushings will do it, ball joints, my drag link was loose and would make it wobble. tie rod? all common things to check. if they havent been replaced check them good. I could jack up the drivers tire and move it enough to see my drag link was loose

not allways true. i changed my balljoints tierods drag links sway bar bushings all upper and lower control arm bushings and both wheel bearings. took it and got the alingnment done. then the death wobble started took it in and all that was wrong was the stearing stablizer shock was bad. replaced it and i was good to go. so not allways are you masking the problem. but still check everthing in the front before you buy the stablizer.

Either your using the wrong pitman arm for the lift, your steering gear box is worn or your steering wheel shaft U-joint is worn or a combination of all of these.
