Shake/ Death Wobble

I just installed 7" skyjacker springs. I took a set of 7" /? something springs out. I had 39" went to a 36" I had the wobble and thought that changing the springs and tires would get rid of it. It may be worse now. When you sit still and turn the wheels the ds spring seems to be rolling back. The springs have a lot of flex but I want to drive it on the road. I don't have a torque arm and still have the push pull steering with the adjustable S bar.

It starts as an oscillating motion and gets worse.

could be driveline slop. Wheel wobble is more noticeable while braking.

Do you feel the slop starting near the front, or the rear?

Feels like the frontend. It is a side to side motion that starts slight and just gains intensity.

It's the skycrappers and lack of high steer.

I was beginning to wonder if it was the skycracker junk. My gut put that on the #1 suspect spot, but I ignored it.
