Big +1

The installer screwed up. 8* is way too much. Should be 3-4*

for reference i am at 6" of lift and i have 3* shims in my rear pack and have no vibes with a t case drop and a stock d shaft........i agree with the few others that the rear may be angled up too much especially for an sye, also make sure the front pinion is properly angled......mine was about 2* off when i first did my control arms because it was late and i "eyeballed" it and that caused alot of vibrations.....hope it helps some.....dont wanna be lookin for some problem that isnt even there

yes, seems like the shims is your problem.
but, what sye is it, i think RE only does H+T.
maybe it's possible the shop didn't drill the hole dead center, or straight?

Lifts are not my expertise but I hope it all works out. I saw you said you were deployed. Thank you for your service to our country.

I ran a 5.5" RE lift with 2" spacers and the hack and tap with a 3* wedge and no vibes. 8* sound way too much to me. Bet the u-joint is trashed at this point as well.
