It's a hum, but its VERY obvious, especially when turning left. Sometimes it rattles the door panels...so I guess at that point it's a full blown vibration, but it goes away immediately when the wheel is straightened or when I'm going under 50. I know it's not DW, nothing that ferocious.

I'm gonna blame it on the pro comp tires...

Alignment and balance and see where that goes. Only other thing might be tire rub? But very doubtful with 4.5" lift.

Definitely not tire rub. It happens on sweeping turns with practically no body roll. I'll update once I do the alignment and balance.

I have been through three wheel bearings, one driver two passenger. Your symptoms are exactly what mine would do when the passenger bearing was bad both times. The best way to check the wheel bearing is to jack the tire up about a inch, and get a 3-6 foot prybar. Set it under the tire and lift AS SLOWLY AS POSSIBLE. If you feel a small pop, the bearing is bad. Just make sure you pry up very slowly or you will not feel it.
