Its not a death wobble. When I drive its like the jeep is swerving and im constantly trying to get it to go back straight. It can be 45mph or 75mph. Same problem. I was thinking possibly ball joints... How do I check them? Oh yeah I'm on 35s almost 30,000 miles with them on.

Ok... Checked the ball joints and there is no play at all!!! Anymore suggestions? Thinking I might need LCA. Anything else I should check before ordering them?

Call the shop that did the alignment and ask for a print out. They should be able to give you the specs. Once you post the specs we can tell you if the arms will correct your issue.

Its not the front... most issues in the front typically lead to the death wobble. I will bet your rear track bar mount in the axle side is broken. Common problem with the jk if you wheel. Push hard on the gas tank area and see if you get a side to side motion. if it does then its a track bar mount.
if you have a rear locker ir, that could cause squarely behavior as well. Assuming its locked

BJs you get tire of the ground just a little and stick a board, tire iron, crowbar, etc and apply upward pressure under the tire while looking at the BJ to see of there is any movement up and down.

Ok, been doing more research. My sway bars have been disconnected since October. Could that be wearing my springs out or the extra movement be causing bump steer? I've got a 2.5" BB. What would be more likely to fix it? An adjustable track bar or LCA?

I would think so. I rode without my front sway bar for a week and hated it
