Re: Help, Vibration at 55 mph...
I had exactly the same type of problem with a 2000 wrangler. Replaced
tires, re balanced twice , u-joints , rear drive shaft, nothing
worked. Turned out a be a bent rear output shaft in the transfer case.
Hope this helps.

Everyone else had good suggestions, but you might also want
to check the driveshaft (driveshaft*s* if you don't have
lockout hubs). If it's gotten bent or lost one of the
welded-on balancing weights it could cause the problem.
Hope you find it; this sort of thing can drive you nuts.

Re: Help, Vibration at 55 mph...
Hi Gary,
If it feels like a tire problem, then most likely that's where it
at. A bent rim, loose lugs, wrap rotor or drum, bad wheel bearing.
Unless it really does feel, or sound like the three speed thing your
wife has hidden in the closet.

Re: Help, Vibration at 55 mph...
I got the strangest shimmy, real bad at 65, bad enough I was worried
about losing a tie rod end or wheel bearing, all from that stupid fan
clutch. I think it was pulsing the steering pump via the belt.
