Ive noticed that, I have serious death wobbles at 60-70Km/Hr. but I havnt got a wheel allignment done yet. What would be the reason the tyre is pulled forward. isint it because of the droop?

Under suspension sag/droop short arms pull the rear axle forward and the front axle back. Nothing to worry about.

the death wobble may be due top track bar/panhard rod flogged bushes, the mounts at either axle or chassis end may have elongated holes, or you need to do the panhard bolts up FT.

Well i took the TJ to G and S tyres for a wheel alignment. Driving it back home on the stockies it drove great. It was parked in the garage for 2 weeks and last night i put the Swampers on and took it for a drive. To my delight no death wobbles Looks like it was the wheel alignment. it had 50mm toe prior to alignment
