Scalloping usually implies they are out of balance or the shocks are
worn out.
If it is more only on the front set and you say you rotate, then I would
be checking the shocks out. If you bounce the corner up and down hard,
then let go, a good shock should only bounce once to one and a half
bounces. If you get 2 bounces, it is weak, if you get 3 bounces it is
dead.
The tape measure is a fast way to check the alignment though. Then if
you look at the Jeep from the front and notice a tire tilted more than
another, suspect worn ball joints. You could use a carpenters level
vertical to check for even angles up/down on the front tires. if off,
something is worn out.
