Default Death rattle??

After putting a 3" bds lift on my Cherokee ever since it has had a terrible rattle in second gear around 2000 rpms and I don't know what's wrong. Any suggestions?

It's not really "aligning" the driveshaft unless you are adjusting driveline angles. You can, however, get the driveshaft balanced by a driveline shop.

Check for loose u-bolts, springs clamps, shock bolts/nuts, shackle bolts...etc.
