Ok, put some 39.5 swampers on and I got that death wobble thing in the front. now it feels pretty good till I hit a bump at like 35mph and all of a sudden wobble wobble wobble till I slow down, looking out the window I see my tires going back and forth like 2 inches when this occurs, I have not balanced the tires but they don't feel out of balance, I'm only running a single stabilizer could this be the prob? I have a dual one on a spare blazer I have, do you think I should make the effort to swap it on to see?or try?
Ran some unbalanced 38.5s and no problems?

are the rod ends good? stabilizers arent the real fix just a bandaid. could be the upper spring in the king pins.

well, I put that stabilizer on there and it went away so I'm going for it. The king pins and spring are new so I thought they would be ok, I could through a small shim in there, but maybe when I get back. I'm sure it would help if I balanced the tires, noticed a little vibration around 55.
checked the rod ends are tight on the tie rod, one of the two rod ends on the pitman arm to steering arm has a little play.
