Driveshaft/wheel baring? Funny noise

This noise has gotten progressively worse, I'm taking it in Thursday but trying to self diagnose before then. I can't tell if it's from the front right wheel or from the front driveshaft, it's very loud when coasting and at slow speeds (because the engine is quiet and my tire noise is low). Is it possible to have a bad wheel baring with less than 7k on the jeep? Tough to hear in this video but see if you guys can pick it up...it's a whoh, whoh, whoh, whoh you can sort of feel it too, listen past the tire/road noise, that's not what I'm referring to https://youtu.be/CKfTZc3Szg4

If your DS is still stock, with 4.5" of lift, it's possible it could be the shaft. I would take the shaft off completely and see if it is still there.
I'm no mechanic, but I pretend to be one while I break my Jeep.

Lifted jeep, inevitable early driveline failure.
Try engaging 4x4 and see if the noise gets worse.
Check the CV's and look for signs of failure.
Just went through this.

I had a minor issue and they bent over backwards to support me and their product.
I recommend contacting them personally and using their template for measuring and ordering the correct specific lengths.

And I should add, the jeep only has 7k miles on it but the parts even less, everything was backordered so didn't make it onto the jeep until about 4K miles
