Okay thanks guys. So after driving around for a couple of days now, my driveshaft vibes are minimized. I thought maybe the wheel bearings were going out because my jeep would vibrate while coming to a stop. Then I realized today that It is only when I downshift that it vibrates. What could cause this?

Do you hear banjos?
You really want to check the caster angle. That is very important, and will set your pinion angle to where it needs to be. If the vibes come on when you brake, then check for a warped rotor, IDK if you're braking when you get the vibes or not, if not then disregard the last statement. If you get the caster set correctly, it will in turn, set your pinion angle in the process. HTH!!
