hey guys i was in desperate need of some help...............i have a 98 tj with the 4.0L and an auto tranny and the d35 rear axle and d30 front axle. the problem is with the steering, when i had the factory tires on my rig, at high speeds if i hit a bump they would move almost uncontrollably like a severe case of bump steer now i have 33's on 15x10's and it does it at low speeds when i hit bumps or potholes in the road, i changed the stabilizer(is that spelled right?!?!?), and got little to no improvment i checked the joints and they seem fine, but it still does it.............help me anyone if you can.
P.S. i was wondering if anyone could tell me what my gearing in the axles are?!?!?

2" spacer lift, but nothing more(cheap'o)
it's more of a shimmy when i hit a bump. maybe that'll help diagnose anything

Does it have a shock mouted on to the steering bar like on the old Fords and old CJ5s? If it does you may need to change it or go to one that is a little heavier.
