One possibility is that your transfer case and rear axle are too far apart because you lifted it. A common band-aid is to buy 1" t-case drop blocks.

Some people have vibes and some dont.
I have installed several sye's and I personally would not run one, nor a transfer case drop.
I would rather run degree shims under the leafs. Works well, cheap, and no adverse effects.

T case drop is a waste. Lift you jeep 3 inches to only loose an inch of clearance with t case drop. Also puts your clutch fan closer to radiator. Degree shims re way to go.

You might do a bit of inspection on the front steering tie-rod ends, and especially the track bar. That vibration you feel may not be related to the transfer case as the others here are suggesting. It might be, but it might not be. Check the other possibilities...

I just recently lifted mine with the RC 4.5" X-series lift and installed the TC drop last night, hoping it would reduce the vibes until I order the SYE kit. All driveline vibes are gone. I still plan to do the SYE but it will be in the spring.
That being said, I still have a vibe in the 50-60 mph range but I can feel it in the steering wheel. Everything in my steering and suspension is brand new except for ball joints and the steering box. I'm taking it back to the tire shop on Wednesday because I'm thinking the tires need rebalanced.
