Steering Wobble And Ride Horrible......

Steering Wobble And Ride Horrible......
I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD 4.7L. The truck has a fabtech 6 inch lift and a PA 3 inch lift topped of with 37in MTs. he truck has been re-alligned since everything was done, and lower ball joints have been changed. The shock absorbers are fabtech's kit shocks.
Here are my issues that I'm not finding any definite answers to:
1) Front end is now even more lose than it was before the lift (steering column is exceptionally loose)
2) The ride quality is terrible. The truck shakes going down smooth roads and really cannot handle any bumps without something breaking. It almost feels like there are no shocks.
3) I really like the look of a level truck, and the suspension lift did not achieve this goal....
MY QUESTIONS: 1) what do I need to do for the wobbly steering and front end?
2) Is there any type of shock or overall suspension upgrade that can achieve a higher quality ride while leveling the truck???
Thanks a bunch,
Brandt

Check your CV angle, acceptable angle is 20% of dead parallel. I know for a fact that the Fabtech kit for the '02-'05 torsion bar kit put the CVs at VERY POOR angles and many have complained of ride quality issues AND broken CV axles.
I thought they improved this with their coil over kit but still can't hurt just to look.
