I just put a 4in lift and 35in tires on my 87 K5.Everything is ok except there is a lot of swaying on the front end only at low speeds. When I hit about 40 its fine.

Any Help

check the torque on your spring plates and eye bolts. If all is good start checking your tie-rod ends and the ball joints for play. It will be more noticeable once lifted than it was before if there is play in the system
 
recheck the bearings, if they didn't seat 100% once you drive it they will get loose. Most likely if you get the front end off the ground you will find that something has a little bit of slack in it. If not rotate the front tires to the rear and visa versa and see if that makes a differance.
