Default NEED SOME HELP, PLEASE! 97 DODGE RAM

GOT A 97 DODGE RAM LONG BED. WHEN I GOT IT IT WAS STOCK AND RAN GREAT! WELL MY DAUGHTERS LIKE DADS TRUCKS TO BE HIGH. SO I LIFTED THE TRUCK WITH A 3" BODY AND PUT 33" TIRES ON IT. PRIOR TO ME DOING THIS MIND YOU NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRAVEL OF TRUCK. SINCE WORK HAS BEEN DONE....NOW WHEN IM GOING AT A GOOD RATE OF SPEED AND USE THE BRAKES THE FRONT END WOBBLES. ONCE IT SLOWS DOWN IT GOES AWAY.SEEMS LIKE IT MORE TOWARDS THE RIGHT SIDE. IS IT POSSIBLE FROM THE TIRES AND LIFT THAT I MIGHT NEED A STABALIZER? IF SO WHAT KIND AND WHERE CAN I GET ONE OR COULD IT BE SOMETHING ELSE. ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME. THANKS!

I am not sure but it sounds like you are referring to "death wobble". Usually that has to do with worn front end or just an alignment. If you do an alignment they will tell you if parts like tie rods etc are worn and need replaced.
