Ok so I haven't experienced a full on death wobble yet but I've got a problem and looking for some advice.. 25k miles on my jku 3.5 coil lift factory shocks and steering stabilizer 35" tires and everything else stock except springs and longer sway bar linkages... At low speeds hitting big bumps causes a few seconds of a slight/moderate wobble in the steering I don't think with this low of mileage anything should be worn enough to cause the wobble but the steering stabalizer.. Any advice? I don't want to prematurely replace the stabilizer and mask a more serious issue..

Will not stop your wobble. May make it wobble less but won't stop it. Find the cause, crawl Nader it and have someone turn wheel back and forth and look for parts that stop that shouldn't. Like slack in tie rods or worn track bar bushings.

After getting my lift I felt like I was driving a '60 Cadillac when a worn rag joint. Here is what I did and it now drives like a sports car.
Replaced tie rod and ends
Synergy draglink flip
Rubicon express trac bar.
