Terrible death wobble
i lifted my Jeep 3.5” rubicon express lift replaced all tie rod ends and have an adjustable trac bar and I still have death wobble when I hit a bump. I do not have a drop pitman arm would this fix it? Also what size drop would I need? I also replaced my ball joints

A drop pitman arm will not make it better. It will cause other problems.
Probably control arm bushings, but easily could be ball joints or unit bearings, and out of balance tires will not help.

re is known to give more lift them advertised. You are probably sitting closer to 4.5 inches. I would get some adjustable uppers, maybe lowers as well, just to dial everything in.

Alignment was a good move. Id bet money your UCA bushings at the axle are mush. Replace those and the arms. Prime upgrade opportunity as the OE arms are a flimsy joke.
The curse of the awesome solid-axle front end. The weakest link is ANY weak link. Any trashed bushing can lead to the dreaded DW.
*As a note to anyone posting about a lift, please include list of ALL parts involved. Shocks, TC drop, pinion shims, track bar, etc are included with some lifts, not with others.
