Xj wabboles at 47mph to 53mph
As Im driving all is good til i reach 47 to 53mph. It starts wabbling bad. And if i apply my breaks it gets worse.
I feels like its in the rear. My steering wheel does not vibrate like the rear of the Xj.
It has a 3" lift. Tires are balanced.
Any ideas?

U sure its the rear? Cause rear will normally only wobble from unbalanced tires...
Now vibration or bounce or road vibes it could be something else...

My first guess would be an off balance tire. Thats the speed they usually wobble at. I know you said there balanced, but when is the last time they were balanced? You could have thrown a wheel weight.

I had the tires balanced just last week. As for my bearings they have to side to side or up and down play. However they do have 1/8 in and out play. Is that normal?
Im going to try adjusting the angel of the joins this weekend. Try my hand at making my own shim.
