Tell us what mods you have lift , tyre size etc

First thing to do is post up an introduction before asking for assistance, that gets everyone on side from the start mate

Found this list of possibilties, may be of use

Wheel balance
Out of round tyres (as opposed to out of balance)
Loose wheel bearings
Insufficient castor
Worn or urethane panhard bushes
Worn drag link
Adjustment of steering box
Worn tie rod ends
Cracked panhard mount at chassis
Steering damper unserviceable

Many 4WDs have this problem. The usual cause is tyre balance. Go to a tyre dealer that specialises in 4WD and truck tyres. Some of the balance machines are OK for passenger tyres but don't always work well on larger, wider and heavier tyres. If you can't find any in Wang - try Tower Tyres in Wodonga.

Mines doing the same ATM from flogged out radius arm bushes (chassis end) but worn panhard bushes can give a similar feel in my experience.

Every time I have shimmy it's a flogged or starting to flog tie rod end, I go through the motions of checking everything to make sure but it's always the rod end.
The pan hard bushes give a violent shaking when they go

Thanks guys for all your suggestions,
We own Y61 2006 TD42T with leaf springs, It has 265/75 R16, which had Coopers ST Maxs, but now running Toyo muds, has the standard 2inch lift, have done radius rod bushes, have done panard rod bushes too, i have taken couple times back to tyre power and they says balance was ok, i am think of going else where to see if they can help, i have check tie rod ends couple of times but can't get any movement out of them

I replaced front wheel bearings before this Cape trip and tightened them up just a fraction more than usual and they are perfect with no wobble at all.
