Default I have a steering shimmy

Ok guys I have a 06 Quad Cab 4x4 with a readylift leveling kit, 3 inch blocks in the rear and 1/4" wheel spacers and 35s. When i hit bumps in the road the steering has a wicked shimmy and im sick of it. Any good ideas? Is it my lift kit? Has anyone had experience with the KORE long travel kit?

I'd jack it up and check for movement in your wheels...i'm thinking tie-rod ends. Do you have stock length shocks up front?

My coilovers are stock in the front with the stock shocks inside of them. I will check out the tie rods this weekend. Thanks
