He doesn't say what shocks he's running. As far as tire clearance 2" bumps is plenty for 37s and flats. Those are the two variables that account for what bumpstops you should be running not lift height

So to me, this sounds like flighty steering from low caster. Not bumpsteer. Not deathwobble. Not roll center.

Find an alignment shop. Some shops will check it for free, they'll just throw it on the rack and print the 'before' numbers without actually changing anything. Then tell us what the caster and toe are. Could be as simple as needing to re-adjust the control arms. (or it could be that you're so tall that adding caster induces driveshaft vibes. )

6* caster? Probably not the problem with the steering. What psi are you running in the tires? And which tires.

45 psi? Look for more opinions, but it seems much more common for folks on here to run 37's down in the 25-30 psi range. Worth a shot to drop the pressure and see if the handling changes. And I seem to recall several people mentioning a radial pull from those toyo's?

Did you verify if you have the drop pitman installed, or the stock pitman? One way to check the angles is to take a wide angle pic of the front axle that shows both ends of the trackbar and draglink in the same pic. Then open it in Paint or whatever and draw straight lines between the mounting points on both bars. Much easier to see how parallel they are that way.

Never ever again take advice from whoever put that lift on, or convinced you to put that lift on. Check out this thread by Dirtman ...
