If anything gives you an edge over the Majority of the XJ you wheel with I'd have to say it's because you know Walker well and it's the only place you go wheeling and your 35 inch skins.

Local around town driving, everything looks and sounds good. When I get up to about 50MPH, I get a slight vibration. I haven't got over 50 yet but will shortly. My tires are still centered straight in the wheel well's with my stock upper and lower control arms. But YES I will replace them soon with bigger beefy control arms and get an alignment done. I'm only driving around town and some minor highway for now. I'm going to avoid the trails until I replace upper and lowers. BTW, This is a 3 INCH LIFT ON STOCK WHEELS / TIRES!

This ONLY happens when I hit gas. When I let off the gas everything is fine. This happens in 4th and/or 5th gear. (I wouldn't be in 3rd gear doing 60mph) I'm going to guess this is a drive shaft issue. mudderx did point out to me that my drive shaft is not quiet long enough and had an idea that AW4 has longer drive shaft then AX-15. So either I find a drive shaft out of an auto and try that, or drop the transfer case so the drive shaft lines up better. Again this is all theory and I'm still learning here. Any input guys?
