jsut because your u joints feel tight does not always mean that they are good. Too tight is just as bad as them being too loose. its hard to tell if they are too tight thought without taking out the drive shaft and checking it. usually the front axle joints will not give you vibration its usually one of the axle joints. Its possible the you may have a front hub bearing going out that is very common as well
I had the same problem with my 88 Wagoneer vibration over 50 it turned out to be the front shaft needing a overhaul 2 of the 3 the u joints and the centering ball yolk was shot I replaced them all not a hard fix at all no special tools needed here is a link that may help
