Default steering question

my wifes jeep is lifted, (98 cherokee xj) its got a 3" suspension lift with 1 3/4 coil spacers

question is, the steering feels loose, like when you hit a bump it wants to veer everywhere. its got all new ball joints, tie rod ends, u joints, tires, control arms and its aligned with new 31" BFG A/T's

it does have the ARB bumper that kinda weighs it down, but I dont think it should have that much of a difference...what do you guys think?

yes and no, the jeep has had a serious case of the death wobble, thats why we changed out everything, but its just when it hits a bump or your turning...I dont know its just not right, its like its loose when you hit a bump it wants to wander all over the place

have a buddie that had a ram that had the same problems, spent tons of money putting it in the shop and replace the whole front end basicaly, still had the problem, it must be a chrysler thing... so he goe rid of it and got a Duramax, good choice.
