Default Rear end question

So I got the 3 in lift, new wheels/tires, and my right rear wheel was wobbling. I can't feel it but you can definitely see it. Took it to the guy that did the lift/wheels and he inspected it and said the rear end needs to be rebuilt. Is this right? I also noticed a leak in the rear diff that I didnt notice before.

So should I get it rebuilt? There is a guy close that specializes in jeep drivetrains. How much should I expect to pay?

What do you guys think?

How much was the wheel wobbling? Ive never heard of a differential problem causing a wheel to wobble. Personally it sounds like this guy is just trying to make money. Id get a second opinion.

it sounds like a loose wheel, or something between the drum and rim.

Take it to a couple of more places see what they say.It may have been a loose wheel or bent axle shaft.Just get some more opinions first.
