I have a vibration, I believe it is in the rear end. It starts around 40mph and gets worse as you go faster. Sometime it will find a spot and not do it at all, but then it will start again. I can feel the seat shaking and I can also see the passenger seat shaking. If I have a bottle of water in the cup holder, it shakes. I just had different tires put on and it still vibrates. Took it to auto tire (not the place I got my tires), and had them rebalanced and rotated. They said tires, brakes, rotors, all look good...Still vibrating. Where should I look next? I checked for open recalls because I read where the rear axle pinion nut, but my truck doesn't show up as any. It has 110000 miles on it. Any advice is appreciated.

If you rebalanced and rotated and the vibration still feels like it is in the rear I would look at your shocks. Are they original? At 110,000 miles they are done if they are. You might have a bad U-joint or your driveshaft may be out of balance too. The best way to check that is to take it off and move the U-joints by hand. For the balance it will need to go to a shop that specializes in that.

I think we may be in the same boat. I'm a 14 1500 Crew with 74k and experience the wobble. I've read so many threads on this issue and there's so many different outcomes that work for one person and no one else...
I'm going to watch the shop balance tomorrow, per some instructions I found on a Jeep forum for chrome clad wheel balancing on Hunter balance machines and if it resolves my issue I'll let you know and connect via PM or txt or whatever to help you achieve the same result.
And I also kind of would suspect the ujoint as well.
Also, check out TSB for driveshaft, I think it's 16-001-14 I came across searching google for my vibration issue.
