I'll also say that in the 4 years of being on this forum, there has never once been a time that I've seen a woman treated differently when asking a question. In fact, pointing out that you are a woman usually results in dudes bending over backwards to help.
So, with that being said, if you are DYING to try something in the meantime while waiting to get your tire balance checked, if you have any local jeep friends, you could ask to do a wheel and tire swap and see if you still have the vibration. It's annoying to do but it will answer that. If you want to post up pictures of your tire tread, we can tell you if there is any cupping.

Not asking for smart remarks! Haven't had a chance to complete profile! So if you are truly going to try to help me figure out what is causing my issue then don't tell me what I should have done just tell me what might work or what you have done to correct the issue. Just because I am a woman don't assume I haven't tried or researched the issue!
Without any info about your lift, and its components everyone is left guessing in the dark.
If you take the time to fill out your profile, then you don't have to include all that info in your post, which you also chose not to do.
You have to give info to get good info in return.
Happy Jeeping!

Whoa, I must have missed something. Where on the forum does it indicate your gender?? I'm a woman as well and I can't tell you how many times people say "thanks brother" or "hey man". And my name has cupcake in it! Never in reading your questions did I think that it was a woman asking, nor does it matter! There is no such thing as a stupid question and no one was treating it as such. But you made an assumption that we should have known what tires you have. Hard to help someone when you don't know the specifics of their setup. My answer to you was simple and straightforward. Check the tire balancing. Until you do that, there isn't much else to suggest. We will gladly help troubleshoot after you have done that if the vibration still exists. Beyond that, it's a waste of time to send you on a goose chase for a vibration if the answer is likely the tires.
OP, Mark is really just trying to help and making a valid suggestion. I've been on this forum a long time and I'm very familiar with Mark and his contributions here. He is a good guy and sometimes post can be misconstrued as negative. Believe me mine are taken that way sometimes also. Lol

Sorry guys! Just frustrated with this issue! Hopefully it will correct the issue with the rotating and balancing! We do have a 4 in lift. The tires do have uneven wear and maybe cupping!i guess just replacing them will be our only option if that is the case!🙄

Ah 4" lift. This changes things. What lift and what components are in it?

Op I bought a super cheap four inch lift years back and barely drove my jeep because of all the issues. After I ended up piecing together the components to reverse the terrible ride quality, the lift no longer remains. Simply Frankensteined a bunch of parts together to achieve the results I desired.
I needed new control arms, a front track bar, rear bracket, high steer, and new tires. Now it goes 90 no problem.
