Re: vibration removing rear drive shaft
 

It's got new u-joints. I think the angle of the driveline is too severe for
above 40mph... I have about 8" of lift on a stock front driveline. No t-case
drop.

Re: vibration removing rear drive shaft
 

I had a small vibration in the gas pedal and steering wheel on my 93 YJ -
replaced both U-joints on the rear axle (relatively inexpensive and easy)
found that just 1 bearing cap was bad,,,, vibration went away.

My recommendation is if you are going to drop the drive shaft, just replace
the u-joints (greasable) and let er rip!
