Default Help! Vibration is Horrible

I drive a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5.7L Hemi

Earlier this week I noticed that my truck would start to vibrate as soon as I got to 20mph and would get worse when I would get to 40mph But!! It will mellow out on the highway around 60 to 70mph.

The vibration is really bad it shakes the whole truck and it is so bad that when I get home my hands are still tingly from the vibration.. At first Im thinking it is the Brake rotors because a few years ago when I changed my pads the rotors looked warped but I didn't change them (The Rotors).

Now I noticed that low speeds like 10mph. I can feel and hear a little bit of a grinding or rubbing noise coming from the front center area underneath the truck.

I went to one mechanic but they told me that I needed to change the whole REAR differential. Which kind of seemed weird but ok.

If anybody can help me out! Let me know what I should look for or what I can do to test somethings out. That would be awesome. And ill answer any other questions if there is something I missed. Thank you.

Yeah and old mechanic friend suggested this same idea. I just need to figure out how to do a quick check or what I need to look for.
