I lifted my jeep yj 4inch suspension, 2 inch body, put on 35’s and a dual steering stabilizer. I know when you lift vehicles they kind of feel all over the road, but it feels like any sort of tiny bump in the road will push me around. Any suggestions to get the steering to feel a little tighter? Should i drop some air in my tires then ill roll over the bumps easier?

A few things:
Check Tire Pressure: Lowering your tire pressure can indeed help absorb bumps, but you don't want to go too low, especially with 35-inch tires. Aim for a pressure that balances comfort and stability, typically around 26-28 PSI is a good start for off-road tires on a lifted Jeep.
Alignment: Ensure that your alignment is properly set after the lift. A bad alignment can cause wandering and make your steering feel loose.
Stiffer Shocks: Sometimes softer shocks can contribute to a bouncy feel. Upgrading to stiffer shocks designed for your lift height can improve handling.

You just raised the COG over somewhere around 9" higher than you were. Got bump steer,a dropped pitman arm? I assume you sxxx canned the trac bars? I for one will never understand "dual" steering stabilizers. Its hard enough to turn 35' and now you have added 2 very stiff hydraulic assemblies to make it even harder to return to center or turn any direction. Whats the caster at before/after, way off from OEM specs? Tire pressures? Loose steering parts have you? All this stuff been checked over??
