Wobble at highway speeds

I recently got a new job that requires me to go on the highway and I noticed a very aggressive wobble at speeds over 55, its consistent throughout after 55. Looking to see if I can locate it.

I have a 2007 2dr, here is what I have done to my suspension:
RK progressive 2.5 springs
Bilstein 5160 shocks for 2.5 lift.
RC Front forged trackbar
RC rear trackbar bracket
RC front disconnectable links
RC rear links
Core 4x4 tier 2 front lower control arms

My alignment is decent, need to fix the caster a bit to bring it to 4.5 cause I'm at 4.2 and 4.3 right now.

My passenger side rear shock is shot, got a new rear set and I just have to swap them out when I get time.

Could the shock be causing this? Any help would be great because I keep finding threads about death wobble in search for an answer and I most definitely don't have death wobble. It happens on a very smooth highway with no bumps and I can stop it from happening if I slow down to under 55.

Have you tires rebalanced. So many things can cause the wobble. Check your alignment and all bolts to make they are torqued properly.

I'm gonna get the tires balanced for sure and rotated while at it because it's free. But this morning I did take the time to replace my two rear shocks and on the way to work today, I had no wobble when driving. Braking improved, alignment seems better, and it handles bumps much better which is a given, thank you guys for the awesome input and help like always!
