Default Loud noise and vibration when slowing down

When I let off the gas my jeep makes a really loud grinding noise and vibrates my feet but then when I push the gas it Stops. I have no clue what it could be and need help fast! Thank you.

Is your Cherokee stock or do you have it lifted anywhere past 2-2.5 inches?

I have a 6 inch lift with 33 inch tires, I recently took it to a mechanic and he told me it was my tires, because they are bald and worn out they are coped so they do that but I don't think that's it.

Do you have an SYE? Because at 6 inches.... it's necessary.
