The Death Wobble!
It could be lethal if you don't fix it.
The Death Wobble usually occurs when you have
larger/heavier tires and your tires aren't balanced.
The Death Wobble occurs in the front two tires.
The wobble will feel like the front end is going everwhere.
For me it occured around 50 mph.
I went and got my tires balanced and rotated
and then the problem was solved for me.
If you still have problems after that then its most
likely something that'll be fairly costly.

a bad steering stabilizer , a bent suspension part or bad alignment can cause this also

It came back worse than ever recently
this time it was the MegaDeth Wobble.
I replaced the steering stablizer shock up front
and it eliminated the Mega in MegaDeth
but it still has some vibration.
I then replaced the (original) links on the swaybar.

Here is a delayed update...
About 3 months ago I installed 4 new Bilstein 5100 shocks.
www.summitracing.com/parts/BSN-F4BE52731H5/
-It helped some but didn't fix the problem.
I then installed the Pro Comp JTB400 Adjustable Trackbar.
www.summitracing.com/parts/EXP-JTB400/
-It helped a good amount but didn't fix the problem.
I just installed Pro Comp 55597B Sway Bar Links.
www.summitracing.com/parts/EXP-55597B/
They are much longer with bushing eyes on each end.
and comes with a mount which bolts onto the eye of
the sway bar. This kit helps to let the sway bar ends
rise up to where they originally were and should be.
Its obvious after installing this part of its importance.
So far after cruising around town I have not had
a death wobble outbreak or felt and tremors.
It rides more freely over all types of fluctuations
in road surface conditions which this vechile hasn't
done since it was originally lifted after thinking about it.

Yep, you have to do a lot of adjustments when you lift so that the steering geometry remains where it's supposed to be. If you don't, you will experience the dreaded death wobble. IF you are going to lift more than 3" you should also go to long arms, they allow better steering geometry and more "flex" also you can use Quick discos on the sway bar or change to the currie sway bar setup so you don't have to worry about the sway bar interfering with the extension of your suspension while off roading or rock crawling.
