Default Vibration Help... please

So, I've got a vibration that is only noticeable when accelerating between 55-65mph. Here is what I've done, and what I think it is.

1. Stock height/ Stock tires (no vibration)
2. Stock height/ Stock front tires - 31" rear tires (no vibration)
3. 3" RC lift Front - Stock rear/ 31" tires all around (no vibration)
4. 3" RC lift Front & Rear/ 31" tires all aound (vibration)

The vibration is not very large, and like I said, only noticeable between 55-65. I assume its the driveshaft, but with the vibration in such a small window, what are my options to fix it? Thanks for your input and advice

Yeah, sounds like you need an SYE and driveshaft(expensive but recommended) or a 1" transfer case drop.

OK, somehow I missed this during all my searches. Seems like the vibes just between 55-65 is not that uncommon, therefore I know what I need to do now. Please continue with your regularly scheduled programming, and ignore my redundant question that has already been answered. Thanks!
