Default 89 XJ front end vibrations

i have an 89 xj with 6.5" lift. i am getting vibrations and sometime like a slight hop that i believe to be coming from the front driver side tire not positive but is in the front end. i have replaced the u joints on front and rear drive shaft. wheels bearings and axle u joints on both front tires. the front driver side tire has uneven wear on the tread idk how it happened but its like waving some of the rubber "spots" are higher and some are lower idk if thats the prob or if maybe it could be from my sway bar not being mounted on the passenger side but i have been driving it and it just started doing it the last time it vibrated it was the u joints but i just replaced and double checked them and i am pretty sure that isnt the problem if anyone else had this problem or knows what to check please help thanks
