I'm calling galloways in the morning to see if they'll take my tires back.

Ouch. I know how that feels too. February 2010 my sister and her "nice" boyfriend decided to break up and he decided to slash my NEW tires on my jeep. Only had them on for 3 weeks. Sat on jack stands in my driveway for 3 weeks. Thankfully a friend of mines brother works at a tire shop and got me some extra tires for free.

That's why buying through Discount Tire with a warranty is so nice. They will replace the tires no matter the cause of the damage.
Keep checking Craigslist though and perhaps there'll be something on there. I wish you luck.

just got off the phone with galloways. They said to bring the tires there, and that they've got a truing machine and they'll try them on that. If that don't work, I can exchange em or return em.

Ok, so, lots of updates!!!! I took the tires in this morning to the place I bought them. 3 of them balanced fine, and there was one that was pretty bad. I assume this is the one the guy at the place I got them mounted got to first, and it scared him off from trying the other three. The guy at galloways turned the bad tire 180 degrees on the rim, and then it balanced fine, so yay!!!!
Got back home, put the jeep back together, and took if for a drive. I was going 55 no problem on a narrow road with LOTS of bumps, which was very gratifying. But then I hit a HUGE bumb with the right front tire doing 55 on the same road, and voila, deathwobble was back. So I said, ok, this is a HUGE improvement. I took it out on the highway, which has no bumps, and was doing 65 without a shake. I think first deathwobble loosened things up a bit though because when I got back on a bumpy road, I got it very easily.
So, overall I am happy because I am THIS close to getting this thing perfectly fine. Also, this morning, I remembered that I never torqued the trackbar frame side bracket. I just snugged it. This may very well be my problem.
The plan on attack is as follows: tomorrow I'm getting all new front LCA bushings, because mine are shot all to heck. after that, I'm going to torque everything back down nice and tight, ESPECIALLY the trackbar. Then we'll see what happens 
EDIT: for got to mention!! the jeep rides great, it isn't harsh or anything. Rides pretty much like it did before I lifted it.
Jeep looks all lonely sitting out there. Lol I just realized the fog light broke again because of the deathwobble.

thanks man! I hope it's just the trackbar too, but I'm doing new front LCA bushings tomorrow anyways just because they could use it.
