I put a 3" zone lift kit on my 98 xj, ive had to drop the Tcase, shim the lower control arms, adj track bar, and quick release sway bar ext. Ive gotten the wobble to go away but then every few months it comes back. I decided to try to change the steering stabilizer shock, but was not able to get the old one off abd ended up sawing and trying to drill out the old pressed bolt to no avail. After driving a few days with no stabilizer i got death wobble very bad and sheered the threaded bolt out of the TRE on fram side of track bar. Now everything has gone very bad. I replaced the TRE but ztill no stabilizer. Can anyone confirm the angle of my pitman arm and front sway bar look right? I feel thats where my problem is now
Should drag ling (edit: pitman arm not drag link sorry) be at that upward agle? Camera is level with jeep
Are my links to long? Angle looks wierd to me
**Noticed im posting in the wrong section, im using my phone and thought I was on the all lift and tires thread, somehow that changed while posting sorry.**

First of all, wrong thread. Can a moderator move this?
Your trackbar/draglink angles look adequate, it's hard to tell from the side. They should be parallel. Swaybar links are too long, putting it around 30 degrees. Ideal is 10 degrees but 5-15 is acceptable.
You must have been crazy or desperate to drive without a steering stabilizer.
Good luck tackling your wobble.
