death wobble

My truck had a mild bump when I put the brakes on down hill. It had stock wheels and small tires. I just put
36" tires on and now if I go 35 mph it has a mind of its own! My leaf springs in the
Front are toast. I've heard that can throw off your steering geometry. My question is, would
Dual steering stabilizers make it driveable until I can afford new springs or do I have to get both.

When I get new springs I would like to put a 4" lift on just the front for now. What is an affordable but still worthy leaf spring?
