give them a good shake
mine had worn enough to rattle when you shook them - cured one of the wobbles we had

I have also installed a 3" lift. I am not having any wobble issues but my rear driveshaft CV was already a bit tired and I think with the increase in angle it is on its way out.
I would be interested to know whether you installed any prop shaft spacer on the rear driveshaft - I have not yet installed any as the 1" spacer was too tight a fit but I have turned it down to 1/2" and will probably see if it improves matters.
Good luck with it.
Jim.
