With big tires and / or lift some times the front wheels will start to vobble
here´s some tips how to avoid the vobble.'
1: Check your spring packs and bushings, the blades should not move
sideways in the springpacks, and the link bushing must be tight.
2: Keep the wheels balanced, if you have positive offset it starts to vobble more easy.
3: Check your toe in/out, on 4x4 you can have 0 toe in/out.
4: if nothing helps mount a steering damper, the problem is still there but it is harder for the wheels to start vobble.
5: The really last way is to mount a wedge between the springpack and axle to get some more angle on the kingpins (caster).
Someone have more tips?

make sure you have good quality shocks, in good repair. and avoid too much offset if at all possible. more offset= faster bearing wear. oh yeah, make sure you got good bearings, tie rods, king pins etc, the bigger the tire, then less wear it will take to show up.

Swap to heim joints and direct cross-steering as seen here: http://www.earlycj5.com/tech/steering/b ... teer.shtml
Don't use the goofy adapter bolts like this guy, but use the bolt hardware from: bulletproofsteering.com
of course, this means replacing the steering box (a 4bolt Saginaw 800 "76" box from a 70's GM car with the rearward facing pitman arm is best), but the result should be well worth the effort.
