check your alignment, if you don't have enough toe in it will cause this. if the trac bar is worn out it will cause this too.

a steering stabilizer will help but not cure.

Check your castor. If you added those spacers on a short arm set up, the castor is off. Either ditch the spacers or get some adjustable arms and correct the castor angle. 6-8 degrees

I have 32x11.50 I'm running a Rancho RS5401 and my XJ is fine. I used to get the death wobble until I got an alignment. I upgraded the steering stab from OEM to the Rancho just for peace of mind. at my work we have a ford service truck, it has a straight axle also. it started getting the death wobble. alignment cured that truck also.
