Your vibration could be a dinged drive shaft, pinion angle, u-joint, etc. Best bet on that is to get it up on stands, get under it, and work from front to rear, checking everything. I've seen undercoating overspray get on a drive shaft before, and cause a bad vibration.

lol i know they wont cure vibrations what i am meaning is the position of my lower control arms may have thown my opinion angle out of wack because i have factory uppers with the megabite jr lowers. i was meaning i wanted solib bushings because its an upgrade from what is on the car now. lol. and eric i changed out the driveshaft and all ujoints a couple of months back from the factory steel to an fms aluminum unit.with the tko swap 31 spline yoke, so im gonna assume until nothing else fixed it that the drive shaft is good.....hopefully lol when i did change it out they vibration was so much less noticable but still there. so, like i stated above im thinking that its the lowers set on kill mode and still having the factory uppers throwing my angle off.ill know here soon

Need some adjustable uppers to get your pinion angle right. If you do solid bushings, better weld the torque boxes up and box em.
