So I swapped a complete 4.5 lift from my 88 xj with manual everything with 231 tcase and a D35 to my 93 xj manual everything 231 and 8.25, now I have horrible vibrations above 10mph. I didn't have vibrations before the swap on either vehicles.
Any thoughts?

They are the same, I was just thinking bad ujoints but what the problem most likely is, is that the 8.25 housing is longer than the d35. Therefore even tho everything else is the same, the angle is steeper with the 8.25. My buddy and I have identical Jeeps except his had 3" and an 8.25 and mine is 4.5" and the d35. His vibes like a mo fo, mine has zero vibes
