The death woble comes from where the steering gear box is mounted on the end of the frame with no support that's cause 1 cause 2 is generaly a combo of bad brakes and bald tires the fix is get the cross brace for the frame it helps support the steering box and cures it completley pdr has one for less then 250 bucks I have one on my truck and love it
I have had a DSS (origional steering brace that is copied across the industry) scince it came out in 2002-2003`ish and along with a **DT profab track bar with dual heim joints (no bushings) and have had awesome steering for some 80K now.
**With ANY lift you need to bring the front axle back to the center of the truck! The DT track bar is adjustable and With a 1.5" leveling kit in my front end the front axle had shifted 3/4" to the driver's side. If I did not recenter the axle there is no way the truck would be aligned true.**
Now my death wobble is back with an angry vengance. A: my drag link is beat and B:Steering box is sloppy. C: I have the steering coloumn bushing kit to do and a new intermediate steering shaft too and both are sitting in my garage now.

If your suspension and steering componentry are all in check tires mean nothing.
Severly out of round tires can cause death wobble or the same reaction as death wobble, I have experienced it and seen it on trucks with brand new steerign systems. these were brand new tires that at highway speeds got scary. swapped the front tire(s) to the back and all was fine. then verified the tire was out of round

actually Mikes fab created that brace a year or two before DSS came out with theirs the same idea though except Mikes was round tubing instead of square
