Remove your front driveshaft and go for a ride. If the vibes disappear, you
have to look at your front pinion angle/castor. Do you have adjustable front
control arms on this monster? I'd be willing to bet the vibes are in the
front if you have done everything right in the rear.

Re: Pinion angle... what's the secret?
When we put a ford 9" in daughter's jeep and a double cardon shaft we were
told from drive shaft place that pinion should be pointing 2 degrees below
transfer, it's been in for a year, no vibration.
