According to http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/a...e-hubs-360959/ I have the late style rotors on the early style hubs....

Composite, the older design is 3 3/16 from the inner braking surface to the top of the hat. That's what yours should be looking at the hub. If its 3 1/16 it has the cast rotors which are the incorrect rotor for that hub.

Um probably want to fix that. The wheel shouldn't be able to turn with those mismatched. That could very easily be the cause of your vibration.
You have two options either get the hub to match your rotor. Or the rotor to match your hub.

It's been like that since before I had a lift... And they don't rub anywhere I think they just make the tires stick out farther than they are supposed to on the studs... But that's still not a good thing especially since I have alloy rims too... So the rotors are fairly new, would you get the hubs or the rotors? Or would it depend on what I find out about the hubs condition when I do the u joint?

They are fine. I think I only have about 10k on them now so we will see how they hold up. I am not a good measure for parts lasting however as I managed to kill all 4 shocks in less that 20k miles.
