But back to the subject, you see your rear drive shaft has to be at a certain angle in order to spin without vibs now that you have lift you have a steeper angle at the transfer case and rear axle.
But as always there's about 4 was to do this
1 lower the rear, haveing a lifted jeep please don't but, you got to do what you got to do.
2 transfer case drop kit.. cheep and easy but not as strong, again up to you.
3 a new cross member with built in trans drop. Not bad about 100 or so and its strong as #%&?.
4 sye, up to you but I recommend doing it if you plan to off road otherwise its the most expensive and hardest to do...
BUT make sure its not your tires, if its your tires you'll fell it you won't really hear it and it'll increase with speed not just at certain speeds, if its the drive lines in my experience you'll hear it at certain speeds and not at others or only hear it when over a certain speed and coasting
