So today, I took the Jeep into the dealership and had the tires balanced & had an alignment done. Alignment was a bit off. The tech was actually pretty cool. He is a Jeeper himself. An older tech as well (knowledge & experience). We shot the shit for probably about 30-45 minutes. He checked everything that could cause the issue and said all is good. I left and headed back to work. The Jeep started to vibrate/wobble. I went back and talked to him again. He took it back in and rechecked everything. It's all good. He started to rub the tires with his hand. He said there is a slight raise in the middle of the tires (we're guess the previous guy didn't maintain the air pressure) and that this could possibly cause it to vibrate/wobble. Once the tire wears down normally with the right psi, it should mello out. He asked if I did any mods. I said nope. The only thing I did was take the Sahara wheels/tires off and swapped them for the Rubicon wheels/tires. Nothing else. He said the tires balanced out perfectly. He said it had to be the tires and that's when he rubbed them. Two different machines and three balances later, there was major changes. I did notice the weights were swapped out on todays balance. Now the vibration/wobble starts at about 63 mph and gets a little worse the faster I go. When I say vibration/wobble, I mean it feels like when you are driving a car over an old pebble/brick road. Its kinda like a machine gun type feeling (make sense?). There's no vibration/shimmy in the steering. Before 63 mph, it's smooth sailing. He said it's also because it's meatier tires. He said his does the same thing. He has the version/model of the first Rubicon that was made (TJ).
