Was your problem fixed? I’m starting to get a wobble at 45+ — I have the same set-up. Thanks.

Did you guys also check to make sure your shocks, swaybar links, and control arms are torqued to spec? You'll get steering play (and subsequent wobble) if these aren't done properly as well.

I took out the beads and that helped a lot still doing it a little but have not had time to get my tires balanced or a alignment done. And I have I did not torque them to spec but I will thanks for the tip

How is the daily driving with the 37s? I'm still tied between getting 35s and 37s. Love the look of 37s but I still want to be able to drive it without having to be in 3rd gear when on the highway. Btw, I have a manual. So 6th will definitely be gone without a regear. 37s will help a lot on trails with mud. But anyway, do you mind the loss in power? Or did you regear?

How is it on the highway though? Or do you never ride on the highway? Also what is your gas mileage like?

Speed dependent vibration is almost always related to tire/wheel balance. I would normally recommend a Road Force balance, but they won't do them on bead locks.

It rides great on the highway Im not sure what gear it is in but it rides good. the gas Im not sure about because I have not reprogramed for the bigger tires yet.

You can go to through set up menu in your cluster and turn on the gear display if you want to see what gears you are hitting. Displays a small number by the D

So I installed a Mopar lift th 37” tires on my JL and at 45 or 50 my steering wheel shakes. I have not had a alignment yet do you guys think this could be the problem?
Not sure about your "wiggle," but WOW your Jeep looks awesome. I am really struggling with tire size, I run 35s now and they're great, that said I love the look of the 37s, but my Jeep is my DD.

Good luck with your "wiggle."

Cheers!

Did you ever regear? And what was your MPG like after everything was aligned?
