Unhappy Need help with my xj

So not to start it with the same old death wobble but I am stumped, I changed all bushings ball joints just had an alingment, and extended UCA, I have a rough country 4.5 lift that has to have a hole drilled over 3/4 for trac bar. everything has been good then drove over 50 and it shakes. not wobble ( Yet) when it starts to shake and i speed up the shake gets worse but as soon i lift off the throttle shake goes away. and random death wobble while driving and when hit bumps over 30, here is a pic of the front end, to me looks little off. if you can help would be greatly appreciated, Im tied of driving to work doing 30

I started with the same lift. Get an adjustable trackbar, roughcountrys idea of drilling the extra hole is no good.

One other thing! You did what I did and bought the cheapest lift on the market, sounds good at first but very soon you will have replaced all the roughcountry parts. Did you get the drop brackets for the lower control arms? If not, I would recommend getting a set. Good luck!!

yup, did the hole relocation on my uncles jeep, the death wobble sucked, once we changed to an adjustable it was like driving a completely different vehicle.
