I've learned not to trust anyone to do an alignment on my XJ other than myself. Tighten everything to the specified torque and rotate your tires. It sounds like you've done almost everything, so you have to be narrowing it down.

Damn, son.. It gets annoying when you've checked and rechecked and still no progress.. But, what size lift and tires, do you have sway bar, have you checked to make sure everything's tightened to spec? Did (the shop) reuse bushings? All motor and tranny mounts good?
Just trying to think of anything random.. Good luck!!

What about your sway bar links? Or any bushings on the sway bar? I'd look at that first. That's usually a good place to find death wobble.

On this forum, myself included, that have ran without sway bars with no death wobble.
Now believe it or not a big cause of death wobble is tire(s) being out of round. Do you know anybody you could swap tires with just for testing purposes?

tires out of round might make death wobble more prone but def not the cause. The shifting of worn out or loose suspension mounting components is the biggest thing and the base thing. Mainly the track bar.
Thats like saying it needs a sway bar or steering stabilizer. both those just mask the problem.
There use to be a video of an axle getting death wobble that was floating around here. Cannot find it anymore. It really shows what is going on.

I'm not saying in this case it's for sure an out of round tire, but it's definitely something that shouldn't be overlooked if everything else has been checked.
