Default Weird wobble?

so I just got my truck lifted last night and coming home it was wobbling, similar to the beginning stages of the dodge death wobble. I was not able to get the sway bars in as they sent me the wrong hardware. Would the sway bar fix my problem, and if not, what should I do? I'm in a '97 F150 XLT 4x4 auto trans 5" lift on 35's.

You have no idea lol when I put the sway bar on the plates that hold the transfer case on, they only hand tightened the bolts, so a couple hours later I THINK my truck is safe lol.

Steering stabilizers don't fix a wobble just mask it (maybe) for a while until the wobble ruins the stabilizer shock.

I have a 6" lift on 35s with no stabilizer and the truck drives better then stock!
If you have no worn out parts and the lift was installed properly, the truck will perform as it should.
