Springs and balanced tires should fix your problem.
X2.... My K30 does the exact same thing, death wobble. It needs the same fix yours does. If you haven't rotated the tires in awhile you may try that just to buy yourself a little more time until you get around to installing the lift springs. I rotated the tires on mine in October and the death wobbles have not re-appeared yet.
