Especially if one of those upgrades is a lift. I've seen a few people end up with a death wobble because the lift they install includes a shim on the front axle to rotate it to improve the pinion angle. Unfortunately, this also changes the caster angle, which is a huge factor in steering stability at high speeds. I'm not saying that is necessarily 100% the culprit, but in my experience it is much more common than crossover steering being the culprit.
I've never personally seen crossover steering as the cause of death wobble, and have seen very few accounts of it, but MANY accounts of crossover being the cure for death wobble.
