Default Steering erratic on bumps/potholes

Ive been having this problem lately. The car rides fine (considering tire sidewall, springs, etc) however when I hit bumps in the road or potholes, even smaller, I tend to get jerked to either side pretty bad, and depending on speed its pretty dangerous. Its not a little.

The wheels are 19" with C6 Tires (285 35 19) and I have Lower Control Arms, Weld On SFCs and 2" Intrax Drop. The is a bump stop spacer. Front suspension hasnt been messed with and is 18" wheel and I dont have the tire size on me at the time.

Any ideas?

Does this describe what you are talking about, or is it different?
