Default Bad vibrations 60-70mph

I was driving on the highway tonight and getting some really bad vibrations. I have a 4.5" lift with 32" Km2(with beads to balance). Would moisture in the tires cause the beads to fail? I think its more of a tire balancing problem than a death wobble.

What do you guys think?

U-joints? What did you do to correct your driveline length and angle?

May need to grease them up. When I had that happen it was my front drive shaft u joint. Check that for play like a clicking back in forth when u turn it. If that's there it's the u joint. Furthermore you may need a SYE and an extended drive shaft.
