I've had the same issue since I installed the RC 2.5" lift, it feels like a shimmy at certain speeds, then it's gone and back a few minutes later.
I notice the issue the most right after hitting a bump in the road or roughy spot in the road.... something causes it to start the shimmy effect.
Slow down a little and it calms down again..... it's not Death Wobble.
I had that with my TJ..... as everone has said before you'll crap your pants when that happens...

I hit it and the whole jeep was going nuts. I thought it was just a really bumpy section but it kept goind till i slowed way down then vanished. I could feel it moving the wheel, the whole jeep was bounching and moving left and right like crazy. happened in an intersection... i wasn't the only one scared
Im getting new tires and wheels tomorrow with an alignment to boot. So if it still happens just make sure the lift is all tight or what?
