When you get to 55 MPH does it still do it when clutch is pressing to
floor? If so it you and balanced tires, you likely either have a bad
Ujoint, bad Ujoint angles (theses can create a lot of vibrations) or
a drive shaft that is not balanced.

Well, changing tires won't suddenly affect driveline angles or the new
CV joints so I would suspect one of the tires is out of balance or our
of round or one of the rims is bad.
You could try rotating the tires to see if the vibration changes place.
While doing that I recommend a hand spin of each tire to see if it is
obviously out of round or has a bulge.
How fast are the tires spinning when the vibe happens? 5th and 2400 is
kinda meaningless without knowing the gears and tranny ratios. On mine,
2400 in 5th would be about 85 mph.

I am not surprized that you think that tall gears with big tires are a
great combo and 2400 at 85 is cool. And you try to pass yourself off
as a expert too, Shame!!!! Not surprize coming for someone that tells
people to spin the tires is reverse while in 4x4 to remove drivetrain
stress. You are all show and no know.
