Did you move the track bar over or replace it with one to fit the lift? If not, you need to.

Yes you need to put that in. The track bar is the first place you should look when you start getting death wobble. The more you drive it without the track bar adjusted properly the more stuff you're going to put more wear and tear on - quite quickly i might add

For 3" the stock arms are fine. Anything higher though and you'll need new ones.

what did you do to lift the rear also ?? with a 6" lift and no slip yoke eliminator you're probably getting rear driveline vibes too you need to fix the track bar with that much lift your axle is probably way farther out on the driverside and with stock arms your caster angle sux i would take off the spacers till you can fix all the other stuff arm's,trackbar, rear setup whatever it is then put the spacers back in
