Front Wheels Went Crazy!!!
I have read somewhere that after lift/leveling kits you need to adjust one of the front end adjustments (caster or camber can't remember which) to it's limits. I also can't remember which limit + or -. If I find the info again I will post it up. Try a search on one of the other sites out there. I know I read it somewhere.
I believe it is the caster you put at near max spec, 4.5-4.8 degrees. this helps the wheels stay straight.
however I also believe alot has to deal with the track bar.

Has anyone ever stuck their head out the window while the death wobble is happening? It is some scary chit! My buddy has the death wobble on his 2005 TJ and he had the doors off. Started shaking and I looked out and I thought the wheels were gonna fall off! they flop in and out opposite of each other. Very scary! I though we were gonna die! He just slowed down to about 40 MPH where it stops and slowly gains speed again. It only happens to it between 50-60. Once he gets over that he is good. He has a 4 inch pro comp lift on it.
I installed my lift on my truck myself and I havent had an alignement done yet and I have never experienced it. (knock on wood.)

I have an 04 with a leveling kit and had the same problem. It came down to ball joints, I first did the trac bar bushing and same problem. Jack the front of your truck up and use a long pry bar under the tires and if the move, you just found your ball joint problem. Get the greasable from moog. My truck has been fine ever since.

I have a 1995 Ram 2500 Cummins 4x4 and I installed the 2" leveling kit along with a new trac bar, 4 ball joints, 4 tie rod ends, and a new stabilizer. Mine shakes like a latina salsa dancer! Help me out!! I'm gonna kill someone with this rig sooner or later. Oh yeah, BFG 35's

This happened to me on my motorcycle before. Its very scary. I think they are called tank slappers. Your supposed to accelerate out of it to get the weight off the front end, however accelerating was about the last thing I was thinking of when it happened to me. I was lucky, and made it out but at 95 mph it could of been bad.

get an alignment done and have the tech put in as much caster as he can to keep it driving straight. this will fix your problem 99% of the time. Tell him to forget the specs when he does it. I think the upper limit is at 5, mine is set around 5.3 on both sides. never a dw problem with 33x13.5's on there.
