Roaring vibration

Since you haven't had it very long, you might check for a bent axle.
Put it up on jackstands and run it; or tell the shop to do it.
 
Alright here's the update. Shop didn't tell me it didn't turn. That was me not thinking it through. The shop took the drive shaft off ran it like that still viberation, checked the differential everything is good. According to the shop they said they hate to tell me they couldn't find the issue out. After debating back and forth with my brother I've decided to replace all the brakes thinking maybe a caliber is sticking. The vibration is pretty bad at 60mph not horrible but bad enough to raise an alarm. I was thinking just ride it till something breaks, but if it's a caliper or wheel bearing then bad news. Axle being bent I would think I would feel it at all speeds. My thoughts on the brakes was I thought I'd smell it, the shop said the right front caliber is sticking a tiny bit, so I'm gonna run with that AND! take the drive shaft off myself and check it myself I'm gonna have to burn a day to dig into it a little better. I have access to a shop with a lift I'll just tackle this myself I guess.
 
Picture of it on the 2.5 lift and 4inch. Posting this before I burn it to the ground lol

Not sure I'd blame the brakes, but I would pull both axles and check the bearings.
 
Update....... after multiple shops again. We jacked all 4s up and noticed the rear tires were shaking. Took the tires off and the axles were bouncing pretty nice warp. Put 4140s in it. Still roaring and vibrating. Next thing is dropping the transmission thinking input shaft or clutch....

Your issue is driveline related.

You may have a failed transmission mount, a drive shaft out of phase, a loose pinion nut or rear end about to grenade.

The puking diff means heat most likely, if not overfilled or expanding water.

At this point, I would probably pull the rear shaft and run it in four-wheel-drive and see what happens- and be ready to go into the rear end.

Checked the rear end it was puking because it was overfilled. Brand new drive shafts, brand new transmisson mounts, funny thing is after the transmisson mounts the jeep vibrates while idling. The 55mph vibration has went mostly away, but shows up from time to time. I bought a clutch kit anyway so sometime in February I'm gonna drop the transmisson and check that out.

It took this long, but I finally took it to a driveline specialist, and he advised tom woods sent me bad parts. After replacing the u joints snd putting splicers in it. It now is quiet as a mouse. Btw I just drove it until the roaring got bad enough the problem would be obvious and it was the driveshaft which was brand new. Total of 4 mechanic shops all told me drive shaft was fine. It took that one guy that knew his shit to fix it right.
