I've ordered the extended lower control arms... Figured it's a cheap 'upgrade' either way.

Now to figure out stabilizer brand...
To update - I did change the parts out and I haven't had any death wobble yet for the past week. It feels "bouncy" like the wobble would before it would actually wobble, but it stops before it turns into death wobble.

How many miles? I've found bouncy often means bad ball joints or hubs, especially in the cold weather

Mine was a MOPAR OEM checklist of some sort. Look online here there are lots of threads on this with specs after doing after market changes etc.
Thank you!

63k KM on factory tire size.
40k miles on stock size shouldn't have worn it out but it's still worth a check if you are mildly handy it takes just a few minutes. Some ball joints go forever despite abuse (mine just wore out despite heavy wheeling towing and 38+ tires at 65k miles) but my wife 4xe lasted all of 40k miles with mild wheeling and 39s

Could also be wheel bearings going out if you see a lot of salt and water and mud, but again seems low to me as the oem hubs are pretty good on these.
