Default Rear End vibe 7.5 inch lift

I have a 92 Cherokee with dana 35 rear 231 TC Sye Kit 2 inch drop and Front Shaft for rear. I have bad vibes from 35 mph and above really annoying makes everything rattle. Here are the angles. Can the rear shaft be too long? Any help appreciated.

could be a pinion bearing, that driveshaft might be bent.. they aren't the toughest shafts in the world, if the slip joint in that shaft is beat it will vibe, u joints could be fryed.. vibrations can be anything

Your shaft may need to be balanced

Replaced U joint on the pinion. And the ones on the sye are nice and tight. Yea I'm thinking drive shaft might be junk.

if the drive shaft has play in it then the cv (u) joints are probably bad. i found my replacement front DS for 85 bucks, like 15 min on a lift...

Can I take the rear shaft out and just drive it with the front pulling to see if it still vibrates?
