Default How much driveline vibe is too much? TW shafts.

Probably a hard question to ask/answer without feeling it. Replaced front/rear DS with Tom Woods 1310s. Immediately after installing them there is a noticeable, but slight vibe in the 55-70 MPH range.

Rig is an 08 Rubi Unliminted, currently running 4" TF Full Flex Arm kit with all 8 adjustible control arms, 35" KM2, Superior 5.13s, and the TW shafts.

It was taken back in to a shop to adjust/correct pinion after the shafts were installed...they are practically in line front/rear. I'll post some pics of the angles up.

Trying to figure out what else could be wrong to cause DS vibes. It hasn't been off-roaded since the install so no damage to shafts. Trying not to grenade my T-Case.

Have you determined which one is vibing? Pull the front and see if you still have vibes. It's a trade-off on vibes and drivability in the front cause of castor.
