I have been having some really bad vibrations from something in my Jeep. Today I got the tires rotated and balanced which I had hoped was the problem. Still vibes. 
Hub bearings are good, u-joints are good, ball joints are good, driveshafts don't have play.
It is not transmission or engine related. Happens between 45-50mph and at 65.
What else could cause something like this?

45-50 mph sounds like tires need balanced. Just my two cents. Not a lot of info. Is the vibes in the front or rear and where can you feel it? in the seat, steering wheel, rear? I would start with tires balanced. Also any recent changes.

I'm going to try pulling the front driveshaft, if it fixes it get a new one, same with the rear driveshaft. The only thing I can think of that would cause it is an unbalanced driveshaft.

Well with having no lift and good balance with the tires. The D/S sounds the only other logical step. I'm not to familiar with veh. D/S so i'm not sure if the is some type of weight used to balance them. Possible the weight flew off of the D/S is dented some where. Please let me know the outcome.
