I just recently had beadlocks put on my Jeep and as soon as in drove it off the lot I got death wobble at about 35-40mph. I let some air out of my tires, down to 25psi, and it seemed to be slightly better. I was able to get past the death wobble a few times and get up to 55-60 but regardless was wondering if there is a fix.
Switched to beadlocks, got death wobble

Need to make sure the bead was set evenly. Need to unbolt the ring and start over. Apply some soap and water around the bead to allow the ring to set right. Torque the ring in 3 stages.

Just to make sure we are talking the same thing, Death Wobble is non recoverable, and you have to pull over, and most likely won't be able to drive the vehicle until it's fixed.
Vibrations that suck, are bad, but DW is wicked crazy.
You're definitely out of balance, and if someone put these on for you as it sounds, you should turn around and drive back in their shop and let them know. If they are experts that installed them, they should immediately get it fixed.
