A few months ago I had some death wobble issues. Tracked it down to a loose control arm issue which has been corrected.
No more death wobble incidents, but the Jeep has very loose steering that can be pretty tiresome on the highway. I checked out the linkage and there's a little play in the tie rod ends, but not a ton and nothing else obvious. Ball joints are brand new.
Would doing Synergy's tie rod and drag link (probably the whole flip kit) be a good investment? There's a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift on the Jeep, so it seems like the drag link flip could help improve the geometry and possibly get rid of some of the slack, or am I looking in the wrong direction?
...I have the same question... Broke my steering stabilizer couple weeks ago while playing on the rocks. Started having a death wobbles at the same time...checked all steering components everything solid but a drag link - wondering if I should just replace drag link or do all flip kit...
Ordered and replaced Rough Country Dual Steering Stabilizer a day or two ago...it helped to mask death wobbles, but I still feel a little shaking in the steering here and there. It definitely helped to make driving safer but did not solved the problem...

Thanks, yeah, no adjustable arms or brackets. The jeep isn't too flighty and tracks alright, just a ton of slack in each direction from center on the steering wheel.
The jeep will handle better with some understeer.
Right now your roll center is higher in the front causing oversteer. (Lowered bracket)
A raised rear bracket might just help you out,
