LOL - different terms for the same bloody part.
Sometimes IS related. Wheel changes, moving tires outward, taller tires, etc. - can especially impact it when it's caused by braking as you have made changes to the scrub radius and one symptom is - nasty stuff happening under heavy braking.
It absolutely 100% could be related. I mean, you're literally saying "I changed my suspension, but I doubt that's related to my suspension issues".
I just know it was not immediate after lift. I dont drive enough for miles, but its driven everyday, the same roads, and on cold days i can get it to do it.LOL - different terms for the same bloody part.
Not sure why the bold/underline.
That part is a bandaid anyway, not a true fix for true death wobble.
Check all of the posts made over the years here outlining the facts on this.
Further, that bolt issue impacted a limited number of these trucks for a short period of time.
This is probably thread #857 on the DW topic. No news, nothing new in this one, same-o, same-o.
"damper", "stabilizer", all the same part. Different people use different terms based on what they have heard said or read or been told.

That's weird. Not weird that you haven't had really cold weather there yet, but weird it should feel looser.
I'm trying to make sure it's not reduced tire pressures or something else. I'd prefer to leave the gearbox where it is. I'll keep tinkering with it. It's 60 today.
until today, i had never heard scrub radius and if I have, it left the chat the same moment i heard it. Ill get it on the alignment rack this weekend. If i had to guess, by eyeballing it, it looks more positive than negative angle but i have piss poor vision.
Scrub radius? Negative or positive after the tire and wheel swap?
after reading some of these posts I think I realized that damper=stabilizer=damper haha. My Glad had no mods, other than bumpers and wench. I’m just hoping it doesn’t happen again with my new 2022. Interestingly enuff, I had to go to one Jeep dealer for the bolt and another for the damper but I got it all done in under 4hrs so I was happy to be on my way.LOL - different terms for the same bloody part.

Wench = hooker ≠ winch
Weird. I’ve been driving in nothing but weather < 37 degrees now for several weeks and never ever have issues. Going slow in a neighborhood, going fast on a highway, just don’t have any steering issues.
Front end is going to be "sloppy" no matter what, compared to most modern mainstream vehicles, other than ford super duties and ram 2500s and up. A solid axle vehicle just doesn't handle the same as an IFS vehicle. Squishy wide jeep tires don't help either. But if it's worse than before, have the dealership check the torque on your entire suspension. Something may be loose. Also check to make sure the tire pressures are in spec. Dealerships like to over inflate the tires for some reason, and conversely, cold weather makes these big old tires lose a lot of pressure quickly.
