Just installed a 3" lift, and a new adj track bar. Stiock tires still. Driving home in bliss listening for any odd sounds, all good. On or around 60 mph about 30 minutes of no issue, going over bumps and usual potholes...and hit a very very slight left bend hit a small bump, and HOLY S**t!
Crapped my pants and guided the shuddering vehicle to the shoulder. So that's not a good feeling at all. Wife ws following me and said the entire XJ was flexing and wheels leaving the ground! Probably an exaggeration, but she said it was VERY visible and scared her just to watch.
Since I alrady added a new track bar, what other component is needed to avoid this? Do NOT want to worry about this.
Read a few posts and don't see a clear reason for this.

Exact same symptoms here, same exact set up, too.
I've noticed I have a pretty loose bushing on pass. side lower control arm, my caster angle of off since the lift, and my front tires have strange wear patterns thanks to the PO not rotating them ever.
Gonna work on that and see if it helps.
