Default Bad vibes?

Ok so I bought an XJ from a buddy, got it home and realized the front DL was out. Called him up and said there were some bad vibes that I needed to replace the tranny mount. So I replaced the tranny mount and installed front DL at 45-50mph it vibes so bad It feels like it's going to vibe apart. When I installed the front DL I had to extend the slip joint all the way out?! Is my DL too short? It's a 96 with a 6.5 Bds long arm lift.

Get an alignment, I imagine it will help a lot.

Also, if you have the money, throw some new Tie rod ends on all the steering bits before you get the alignment done.
