Still vibes after hack and tap
Pull your front shaft and drive it. Mine has vibes only when the front shaft is in. I replaced it with a new "woody" shaft and still have the same problem. Not sure what the cure is going to be.

The whole idea of doing and SYE is to shorten the length of the output shaft. The longer the shaft extending from the t-case, the more leverage it has to bind things up inside the case.
The length of the shaft and it's leverage have much to do with the vib's.
Consider this, the earlier Jeeps (pre '96 I believe) have a shorter output shaft than the post '96's... and, low and behold the pre '96's can typically be lifted to 4" without vib's, where as the longer shafted post '96's are know to vib at as littel as 1" (plenty of factory upcountries came off the lot with vibrations).
Cut the shaft to the lenght identified in your instructions.

No more vibes I checked my U Joints and one was shot. I went and pick up a precision U joint and works great. Yes everything on my jeep is tight.
