This forums for the 18+ Wrangler, however, steering joints/ball joints/suspension bushings are all likely worn and bad.

Check the suspension and tighten everything to torque specs. My 2017 Rubicon Recon on 35s with Teraflex 3" lift does great on the highway. You may have worn out ball joints and ends on the drag link and tie rod also. I had to replace my ball joints at about 83k miles too. It made a huge difference in the steering. :like:

Since it hasn't been mentioned, what PSI are the tires at? My K02 35s are squirrelly at 37lbs. I run them at 29-30.

Need more INFO. Is this a JKR, or a JKUR? How many miles on it? How high is the lift? Has it been aligned after the lift? If yes, what is the Caster reading? How much air are using in your tires?
