Trackbar probably isn't tight. Also, death wobble can be exaggerated by adding a lift. Check the track bar bolts first and let me know what you find. Also, DW is sometimes confused with shimmy, what are the symptoms?
Symptoms are massive shaking. And gets worse as you go. Slowing down is only cure. When doors are off you can look out and see the tired "wobbling." Had it before and I rotated tires and it stopped but now after about 5 months it's back. Tires aren't wearing uneven or anything.

As mentioned above, check tightness of all suspension parts starting with track bar, tie rod ends, ball joints, etc. also check your toe-in adjustment.
My DW kept coming back because of the trac bar bracket mounting hole on the axle had become worn. We had to drill out the brackett and the bushing in the trac bar, then replace with bigger bolt. I have not had an issue since.
