alright, i know i ask alot of questions... sorry. haha. alright recently, around town, i thought i was developing the notorious 'death wobble', i was nervous about driving to my uncle's farm yesterday down 66 cos if it vibrated at 45, it was gonna vibrate worse at 65 right? well, it turns out i only get the vibrations a little below 45mph up through a little above 50... what could i start lookin at? i have 3" of lift and 31" tires, everything else is stock.
alignment , drive line angles, tire ballance......u joints worn in a particullar pattern that has been changed to run in another?

Sometimes you'll get the death wobble at certain speed frequencies if your ball jooints are going too...I also agree with all of the stuff that 02Tj said.

I would check alignment first actually. With all the water and mud that's been flying around cause of the storms, make sure you don't have any mud caked inside your wheels too.
before you spend money make sure the trac-bar is tight on the axle end.
Then get the balance checked.
Then hit up the alignment. They will tell you if your ball joints are shot.
If none of that fixes it. then I would check the tie rod ends and the control arm bushings.

Did the vibration start right after the 3" suspensiion lift? Did you do a transmission drop?
