Default Death Wobble

I know, I know there are a million threads, articles and videos on death wobble. I know what can causes death wobble but im at the point where I think I need to start replacing things. I raised my 96 Zj 1.75" inches, nothing big. I did it by old man emu springs and a small coil spacer. I also put on new belstein shocks, tie rod ends, and steering stabilizer. My ball joints seem fine and everything is tightened down. I first had death wobble because my track bar bracket was loose, now its not. Now its not full on death wobble but it doesn't feel sturdy on bumps and it almost feels like it is going to have death wobble but it doesn't. Should I replace the track bar? Trail arms? I want to be able to hit bumps and feel safe and sturdy.

Did you adjust the alignment when you installed the lift? I've had similar problems before with my zj

Actually, I think I forgot to do that. I did it about a month before when I did the tie rod ends but not after. Good call, I'm going to try that.
