Default Shaking/Vibrating/bouncing/whatever

Can someone please help I have tried and tried to eliminate every possibility and this is where I stand...I have a 2010 JKU Sport 4" procomp stage II short arm lift kit. 35x12.5 17 with some motometal wheels. I had BFG MT's and was getting this vibration more like bouncing feeling at exactly 55mph and up feels like its coming from right rear. I swapped out the shocks for some Bilsteins still there I switched the tires to some Grabbers still there I loosened tightened greased and checked every last thing...STILL THERE. It feels like a bouncing not a wobble not a vibration I wonder if its coming from my wheel I know its not the tires because it does it with the new ones on too. I look out the door and the drivers front and rear seam like the riding smooth and when I look in the side view at the rear it looks like its bouncing more than either of the others. I know I may be answering my question but is there anything else that would cause this? Bent lugs? I know its not the rotors because I don't get any sort of feeling when I brake its only there at 55mph and above. I know its not driveline because if you pop it into neutral while at speed its still there. PLEASE HELP any suggestions...sorry for the long story!

I'll give it a try, my question to that is wouldn't I feel that throughout the speed range? It doesn't start here and there its instantly at 55mph and up.

Removed the clips and am running right at 30 psi I haven't swapped wheels yet but don't have anyone to swap with so that may be my next purchase.

Have you ever seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Be careful running your Jeep on jackstands.

Default Need help

i just turn 4k on my 2012 jeep wrangler sport. I have 2 inch coil spacer lift on it. i just put it thru just a bit of mud, honestly just 1 mud hole and it wasnt enought to get the jeep muddy. On the way home i noticed a vabration in the front end that gets worst the faster u go. i checked the tires and there is no mud on the inside to throw any balance off. Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?
