i could be wrong.....but this is my take.
i recently got my jeep and it vibrates too. from what i have read, the sye and driveshaft are the biggest part of fixing that.
beyond that, fixing the rest of the suspension geometry should get rid of the rest of it. that means new shims for the back, adjusted control arms, and maybe some fixing on the ends of the axles (i forget what its all called but its little bearings and joints and stuff that tends to bend under the added stress of a lift). Also in the front, tie rods and pitman arm.
but like i said, all my info is from reading, none of it is from experience. if i am wrong, i would like to know

Thanks man ,yea I got the driveshaft and the sye I just haven't put it on yet , I just needed to know if I need anything else to keep it from breaking down the road . I had a wrangler before the Cherokee and i had like 10 grand in it but I rolled it over and the insurance company totaled it out which sucked I could have fixed it , but anyways thanks for the info on that
