Yeah,
If it does it violently it's called 'death wobble'.
It can be caused by all manner of things - my last dose was due to bending the trackbar and having the axle sticking out 2" too far on the drivers side. I also had too much toe after we tried to get it driveable (after bending the trackbar).
Did you get an alignment after the lift ?
If not set it to zero toe with around 5* of +VE caster and see if that cures it.

lower bolt on trackbar loose and/or the shimmy shock is missing.
