X2. Go with RE driveshaft (cheaper and still solid quality) and SYE. I have been running mine for 7 years. Here:

I know this is against what pretty much all you guys are saying but I need this problem fixed asap and I don't have the money to throw down on a sye and a drive shaft yet and I don't go wheeling over very difficult terrain but will this do for now until I can afford that stuff in the future? http://www.quadratec.com/products/RE1822.htm

If you still have vibes after adjusting your shackles, a hack and tap sye and a front/rear driveshaft conversion is your best choice.

^THIS

your driveshaft is about to fall out, the splines are not fully engaging.
happened to my buddy's before he did a sye on only 3 inches. he flexed it in the driveway and the slipyoke fell off, and that was with a tc drop

if you dont have the money for a sye, lower it back down
