Dude, check the tires. Cupped/out of round/etc. balance them and check the rims for damage. No need to tear into the engine or replace mounts yet. 95% of vibration problems like this are tire related.

A few things you've said that keep getting my attention as I've been following this thread that leads me to believe the vibration is not wheel related:
I'm probably wrong, but that's my observation. Getting the wheels balanced will tell the tale, though.

That's what I keep thinking Galvtexguy, how can this be wheel related ??? But I've done everything I am personally capable of so the wheels are going to shop soon for close examination and rebalance, though I made try Ride On balancer first to avoid the task of removal... I'll post results. I'm not about to tear open a 2 year old motor with 4K, the vibes are not that bad, my OCD is though....thank you again all!!!

I have to note drove buddy's 2016 today exact same vibes in shifter lever when placing left heel against it at driving speeds so this appears to be normal, he was as shocked as I with that discovery. I also felts similar vibes in his floorboards at 3000 rpms but not quite as bad as mine but he has ***** G inserts and they appear to be thicker than my streamliners maybe absorbing more? Hmmm ...
