Default Wobbly wheel, axle shaft?

So I have a 1993 Cherokee country lifted 3 in on 31s that developed a vibration at low speeds, been trying to bunt it down it has new tie rod end, new trans mount tires rotated and an alignment, the other day I jacked up the rear end and put it in gear to find the rear tire wobbles about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Trying to see if it was a bent rim I threw my spare on there and sure enough same wobble with 3 different rims/tires. I'm guessing I have a bent axle shaft, but figured before I fear it apart I would ask the veterans for any suggestions. Sorry if its a dumb question but could a bad bearing cause a wobble

Axle shaft or bearing. Happened to me after I swapped in a junkyard 8.25. Easy to swap the shaft in from my old 8.25
