I've been looking around for drive line vibes and wondered if any one has anything to add to my list of possibilities.
1. Drive shaft out of a xj with a d35 rear is 1" longer than one with a c8.25
2. Yj or tj slip yoke is 1" longer and works at higher angles
3. 5spd trans crossmember off xj gives 3/4" drop to autos with out ground clearance loss.
4.degree shims
Is there any more? I've been driving with the vibes for about a year cause I don't want to loose ground clearance and can't afford any type of sye

I'm sure it's not great but probably not bad. It didn't have the vibes when I had a 3" lift and immediately came when I went to 4.5" so i think it's okay.
