I had this this spring, turned out to be a u-joint just starting to go bad. Didn't have much play but when I popped it apart was full of rust. Did both and it took away probably 70% of steering wheel vibration. I have a feeling the rest is due to lack of SYE or possibly front driveshaft. But with a 242 I wont be able to get a SYE anytime soon.

UPDATE: I have installed new Cooper AT3's. These tires are awesome! I went from the tire shop straight to Pleasant Mountain. This trail tested these tires to the max (deep mud, steep granite slopes, mountain rock slide deposits, tight corners). SteveMongr excellent recommendation. The pulsating vibration is lesser but still noticeable around 60mph. Im installing the SYE and rear leaf packs tomorrow. I'll keep posted.

UPDATE: The AA SYE and RE full leaf packs are in! Vibrations are history. While doing the project, I noticed the front passenger U-joint was bad which may have been a contributing factor to the vibrations. However, the SYE is in and it feels good to have that done and in the rear view. The RE full leaf packs ride much better than the cheap RC AAL's. The jeep is sitting pretty netting just over 5'' of lift. Looks a little goofy with the AT3 31's but I'm laughing all the way to the bank with what "decent" gas mileage they are giving me (15mpg on a great day). Thank you to all those who gave input to this tread.
