He also said I need a slip yoke for a 2 inch lift. He told me since it has the death wobble its going to be very hard to diagnose the bad parts and that the death wobble might never ever get fixed. He said it's now a money pit. What a joke! Should've gone somewhere else

Well I replaced the tie rod end that goes on the drag link last week and still nothing. Still had the death wabble. And popping was still there. Bought the steering gear yesterday and took it to a shop. They told me for $100 they'll replace it. Well when I got there the guy guaranteed me the gear box on the jeep was fine even tho a different shop had told me the gear box was bad and that explained the popping sound. Guy at the shop also told me I need to replace my WHOLE front suspension because since since I lifted 2 inches everything else has to be longer. I don't know if the guy was just being a dick or he was just trying to scam me for my money. He charged me $5 just to check out the truck. Well...now I'm stumped. The popping sound is coming from the gear box along with the new tie rod that connects6308279927 to the pitman arm. I should've left it stock b

Still have the death wobble. I currently have a 1 inch transfer case drop because I was getting vibes. Could the short drive shaft be the issue of the death wobble? I was doing some online reading about SYEs and stuff.
