Default Drive Shaft going up and down !!!! HELPPP!

Well i was having the same problem with my old driveshaft cuz it was bent so i got a brand new driveshaft with new u joints. i just replaced it and still making this weird noise! i have a video of it. im thinking maybe a bent yoke? does not sound like its coming from the diff. (i just replaced diff fluid and check diff and everything looked fine) from yoke to driveshaft. it does have a 4.5 ROugh country lift without a t case drop! can that be causing the problem and noise ! please help!

That could very well be the problem. Do feel any vibes at all? Do you have shackles or shims installed.

ya the pinion seems good , so best guess all that noise and spinning is from the shackle and not having a tc drop?. that noise makes a grinding noise :/
