Steering Wheel Shimmy Above 50

[Waffen6]

2022 Rubicon, added my 3.5" skyjacker lift, wheels and 37" BFGs a few months ago. Balancing was an issue never got them perfect due to the amount of weight the balancer said to add. Kind of lived with it but the steering wheel shimmy above 50 is getting too annoying. The steering wheel so mildly shakes back and forth, Ill try to get a video of it. If your holding it you cant even really see it but can feel it. Today I took the weights off the front wheels and added ceramic balancing beads. I also threw it on the alignment rack for the first time. Toe was only off a bit on the left front. Drove home and same issue, no changes. Next Ill try rotating the fronts and back tires but open to other suggestions or opinions.

Tires are not balanced. It's likely really that simple. No use looking for ways to cover up tire imbalance. If it takes that bloody much to balance them, they are bad tires.
You admit they are not perfect so you have your answer already, IMO.

I hoped the beads would help, way the wheels are they are too tight of clearance to the calipers to add more stick on weights. I will contact BFG see if maybe they can warranty one or two of them out.

Had the same issue a few weeks back with my ‘21 Mojave w/4” Readylift (was shaking pretty bad around 50-60). Took it in to local dealer for service and they balanced & rotated all 4 tires and replaced steering stabilizer under warranty - drives like a dream now! Good luck!
