Similar issue here. Metalcloak 2.5" lift is where it all started. Just a minor nibble between 40 and 50 mph on stock wheels and tires, not any better on 37's and beadlocks. Installed a Rusty's brace and all Metalcloak steering and no change. Eventually I started getting straight up death wobble. Replaced the ball joints and I've been mostly happy ever since. The stock ones passed the crowbar test and didn't feel particularly loose when I yanked them out, but the crappy stock ball joints were the issue for sure.That's why I think this issue is tricky. Maybe it was just my set but my factory ball joints didn't show signs of wear based on the normal ways we look for looseness or play. I feel stupid now after going through all this pain when a few hundred bucks and a few hours would've solved my problem.
