Death wobble
I have had the wobble before but the symptoms are different this time.
the wobble cab started by the following:
Cold morning starts
Braking while cold
Rough roads
I have had the tires balanced there is no loose movement at the track bar or drag link. There is a faint click when pushing up on the track bar.
I have a 3.5 lift and 35” tires. Tires are new ProComp

Have to guess that cold starts and braking when cold just has to be coincidence as they have nothing to do with wobbles. I'd test the ball joints if you are 100% certain that you have no play in the TB joints and that those bolts are torqued to spec (125 ft lbs). You should NOT be able to hear anything when pushing up on the TB. There shouldn't be any movement in that which you can make with your hand.
