My dog always chills in the Jeep when I'm out there working, it's good to have a supervisor...

Not as weird as you think. I installed a 2" BB on my 90 and it caused a horrible driveshaft vibration. I installed a 1" t/c drop which fortunately fixed the problem, since a SYE and new driveshaft aren't in my budget right now.

A lot of times it's just the u joints being bad. They get so used to driving at low angles that they develop bad spots, or the grease dries out. You'd be surprised how "well" a u-joint performs at low angles when it's gone bad. I had a 3" aal on my 89, which started vibrating. Changed the joints and it was fine. Then I got full leaf packs with shims and it was fine. I put in New motor mounts and a new transmission mount and suddenly I had vibes again. That's when I had to do at case drop.
