Completed the lift last weekend. I picked up quite a shimmy around 45mph. I'm figuring I need to get the tires balanced. The shop that mounted the tires convinced me to use beads but I think I will find another shop to balance the tires before I look deeper.
I have to go find my pics....

Time to add the 3” body lift 
Jk
What lift did you go with? I’ve had okay luck in the past with beads. Could it be driveshaft related?

I went with a 2 1/2 OME suspension lift, a 1.25 JKS body lift and Brown Dog MML. And 33x12.5x15” Duratrac tires. If my pre and post measurements are good I got 1.25” lift from the BL , and 1 1/2” from the tires but I only saw about a 1/2” from the OME springs and shocks. I don’t know why.
It’s a LJ Rubicon, from what i’ve read the drive shaft angle should be good but I have no experience.
I’m thinking maybe I should add a 1” spring puck, not that it will help the shimmy but I think I could use a bit more fender clearance.
That little bump I’m on is only about a foot tall.

Did you go light springs or the heavy duty springs? Most guys report getting 2.5” out of he springs. Did you go through DPG?
Yeah DPG, heavy springs. I don’t remember the number right off. I’m about 1100 miles from my Jeep and paperwork.
