Death Wobbles or something else?

It only happens in the first 5 miles or so of driving. Fast wobble in the steering wheel, after 5 miles starts to fade and by the time I'm at work (15 miles) is almost undetectable. It's also gotten worse as it gets colder.

Pressure was checked... they are all at 26 psi. I didn't notice any bumps in the sidewalls. They were installed on the wheels by Discount Tire, who uses a Hunter balancer IIRC?

Could it be an alignment issue? I haven't had it aligned since the lift.

You should probably have an alignment done, but I don't see how the alignment would change after driving a few miles to warm up... temperature seems to be causing it since you said it's worse in cold weather... so ya I'd have your tires re-balanced.
