There is a potential issue hiding there. The trackbar has been relocated by drilling a new hole in bracket. That bracket is thin, the hole is too close to the edge which can cause cracks to develop.
Also looks like bar is almost contacting underside of bracket, when suspension droops a small amount, contact will happen and binding will result, preventing any further droop.
It would be in your best interest to replace track bar with a correct one for you lift size and have those drilled holes welded up. For both safety and performance.

I have fixed a lot of little things since getting the Jeep a couple weeks ago and I know of there are tons of discussions on this subject here, but I've looked a bit a decided to get some basic advise. I have horrible wobble at moderate speeds, 40-60mph. What do I replace first? I know it can be a combo of about 10 parts. But I gotta start somewhere. I've just placed a set of new tires and rims and would like to keep from uneven wear that plagued the last set. And a pic of the progress. Thanks guys.

Out of balanced tires, bad ball joints, track bar, tie rods, or control arm bushings. Those are usually everything. I would start with rotating your tires and see if one is problematic. If not, then move on to the next step. Also, take it to an alignment shop and have them do an alignment and inspection. That can help as well

I see additional issues with ride quality, handling and longevity in the first few pictures. Up for some criticism?
Are those new tires? Heavy tires can make handling issues worse.

I trolled these forums for quite a long time before
i joined as well. Take a look at this video for death wobble help. It's the best resource
i've seen for death wobble info, not to mention a basic run down of your front suspension components and how they work/contribute to a wobble situation
