I would start by checking the universal joints. Also, rotate the tires to see if the vibration changes. If you presently feel it in the seat and floor, it's the rear. If you feel it in the steering, it's the front.

Let me know what you find.

IF the u-joints and balance is good, then I would recommend having the wheel bearing and checked as well as the output bearing from the transfer case and input at the differential.

Also, is there any noise associated with the vibration?
