i'm guessing no lift but out of balance tires, u-joints, other hub, out of balance driveshafts, etc..

i know as a joke to people at school we would duct tape stuff to their driveshaft and it would create a vibration cause its out of balance...

Thumbs up

Just put your jeep in neutral on a flat road. Put something in your wheels so it didn't role away. Then get under your car and see if you can wiggle your drive shaft.
