Default At what speed

do you get vibrations from a lift? I bought an 89 that has either a 3 or 4'' rancho lift and at approx 57 mph and above I get bad vibs from the rear. I will also note that this has an extended slip yoke. Do you think this could be the source? Maybe I could go to a stock yoke and drop the TC to remedy this it is a 98% DD. Thanks in advance.

Check angle of rear axle in comparison to t-case. Rear drive-shaft u joint angles may be too severe.

Is it a fast sharp vibration or a slow soft vib?
