Default front drive shaft vibration?

Ok im 99% sure that the vibration is coming from the front drive shaft cause im an idiot and i think when i put the front springs in my jeep that i lowered the axle too much.... is there any way to know for sure... if it is not balanced i guess it's a good excuse to go get a new more beefy and non rusted one

I can sort of feel the mild vibration at low speeds and if im coasting down a hill it's a vibration in a pattern and thats the only thing that i can think of... and it only did it after i put the springs in... just wondering what anyone else thinks.

being that you only have a 2.5" BB and that you are still running your factory drive shaft, i'd have to say that i seriously doubt that it is the source of your vibes. are you certain that your wheel are balanced?
