First is the death wobble in front or back. If in back your axle bearings are toast and you won't know unless you take wheel and axle out to investigate it. Happened to me till I located problem and fixed it and is good as new

check the trackbar bolts at the frame mount and inspect the steering box bolts to frame area for any cracking.

if all your steering and suspension components are good rotate your tires and see if it goes away. they could have a belt separating even though they are new.
i have had pretty much every cause of dw.
and did you align it?.....this could def be your prob.

Hope you get it figured out! My 92 is doing the same thing right now, new tires balanced all that stuff, everything torqued to specs just hasn't quit yet still working on it! Hopefully you get it fixed up cause it does suck!
