Default not so good vibrations

Anyone experiencing a slight harmonic vibration from about 42mph to 49 mph .Its very slight, thougth at first it was the M/T tires. Mine is a 08 RUBICON auto, 2 door.

stock height for now, its around 1800 rpm ..I read that the computer takes a while to learn your driving pattern. It seems like 40-47 mph appears to be an auto shift point?? funny though its not hunting for a gear.

i have a 2dr auto and mine does this as well. Starts at 1450 rpms and continues to about 1550. I can close my eyes ( figuratively speaking of course) and tell when i am at that rpm range. Set my watch by it.This is about 45mph.

Just had it at the dealer and their answer was " they all do it"

Sounds like an out of balance tire. Seriously, that mph range is associated with a bent wheel or out of balance tire in a LOT of cases.
