Without seeing a pic off the top of my head you probably haven't triangulated the top links.

are your upper links shorter than the lowers and do they mount to the axle at the center or near center of the axle?

ur top links need to be triangulated

i.e. bring the the top links closer together on the chassis or the axle.

wait is it side to side movement or a rolling up and down movement?
if first read above, if second u need to mount ur lower links on the bottom of the axle.

your links should look like this:

front

/\/\
back

-move the lower link attachment at axle farther out toward wheels.
-move the upper link attachment at axle closer to the center/pumpkin.
-make the uppers 1+ or so shorter. try multiplying the length of the lower link by 0.7 to get upper link length. its not critical but thats the rule of thumb for 1:1 trucks so it might help you.

see mine:
