The LCA's most likely aren't the cause of the wobble unless they are loose. Being installed backwards will probably cause rubbing issues at flex and or turned to lock. I would look for something loose, could even be ball joints. Good luck.

True, but would like to make sure everything is installed correctly to due process of elimination. Plus if they put the LCAs in wrong, there could be other components installed wrong. The LCAs were the first thing I noticed that was wrong.

Yes I would install them correctly so you don't get any tire rubbing and go over everything else to eliminate possible issues also.

Got the LCAs installed correctly and torqued to 203lbs. Drives much smoother but still getting death wobble at 70-75mph. Guess I’ll start checking all the components and torque specs next.

Update.....
Started checking every component of the lift kit and found that the stock steering stabilizer bolt that mounts to the axle was finger tight. Guess the shop that did the alignment forgot to tighten it back to spec.
Also noticed that the rear track bar bolts were not torqued to 125lbs.

Looks like death wobble has been fixed, i think it was the bolt on the steering stabilizer not being tightened. Thank you everyone for the suggestions and recommendations, really appreciate it.

You still enjoying the lift and the way it drivers? Any other input you want to share?
