Default Shaking JK

I have a 2014 JK four door with 3 inch lift, 35's, 17 inch LRG wheels. Put them on at 5000 miles. At 10000 miles I rotated all 5 tires. Now I have a bad shake. The steering wheel shakes back & forth about an inch. You can also feel it in the seat. Tried rebalancing, no good. Put balancing beads in, still shaking. Any ideas? Will it eventually wear them to the right track & not shake? HELP

I wouldn't count on it. Something's not right. Something's bent or out of balance, possibly not installed correctly?

I would start with rotating them back to see if the shake goes away. If that's the case then I would bet there's a balancing issue.

That's what it seems like, but it only happened after I rotated.

I guess thats the cheapest way to go. I'll try that first.
