In need of some suggestions !

OK I did the SOA XJ spring stretch on my YJ a while back using stock XJ leafs. I have 4" superlift springs on the front SUA , I was sitting about an 1 1/2 " low in the front so I put some 1 1/4 lift shackles on it and it sits level enough . The problem is I stepped up to 36" Iroks from 33's and now death wobble has showed it's self real bad. Before the tire swap I would get DW once in a great while ( but only after the lift shackles were added ) .
I need some suggestions on how to get the lift with out the lift shackles ( I think they're the cause of the DW ) . At this point I would rather not buy the BDS 5" springs.
1. can I install shims to get the caster back?
2. could I add a leaf or two from the rear pack that I removed ? w/ stock shackles
3. could I add a leaf it ? w/ stock shackles
4. any other options ????

Or would it be better to just sell the lift springs and buy the BDS front packs?

If the front are still YJ length springs, I'd SOA the front as well with RE 1.5" SOA springs and use normal shackles.

How well did the Iroks balance? Are they radials or bias? If they are bias they could be flat spotting and take a while to warm up before they smooth out. Super Swamper tires are not known for great handling on the road. Oh and I agree with Don get rid of the lift shackles. If you can not afford to do a SOA lift in front maybe try a add a leaf using the springs you took off the rear.
