Exclamation Rythmatic Vibrations on a 2DR!

Let me start of by giving some specs.

TF 2.5 Coil Lift w/ shocks,
JKS Front Adj. Trackbar
Woods SS Relocation Bracket
TF HD SS
33" Km2's, 17x8 Black Rocks


I installed the lift 2 weeks ago and have had no issues at all.

Yesterday I installed my JKS Frnt. Adj and the Woods SS Relocation Bracket.
On the way home I noticed that starting around 55MPH and Up I feel a Rythmatic Vibration going on. Almost as if something is pulsating.

Today after work I removed the JKS and put my OEM back in place took a spin and it is still there. Just trying to see if the new installed parts might be causing something. I am getting ready to remove the SS and see if that helps (which i am sure it won't). Looking for any help or suggestions. I was really not budgeting in the price of New Driveshafts and figured I could get away with the OEM for a while
Also no torn boot, dents, or grease anywhere

Your tires are most likely imbalanced.

I was wondering that? Maybe I threw a weight somewhere over the past two weeks I am going to try and get them balanced tomorrow along with an alignment.

Since I don't have Adj. LCA's will the alignment really do me all that good?

Well,they can center your front axle, center your steering wheel and adjust toe. Or you can do that yourself. You probably have a tire bal prob, if not your driveshaft may have thrown a weight.If I were you, I'd just get the tires balanced, then look at your DS.

Have you checked your driveshafts? is the rear spitting grease?

x3 on the driveshafts and tires.

I noticed my driveshaft vibes from directly beneath the arm rest/console between the front seats. I've also had tire vibes and those usually feel directional for whichever tire(s) are off i.e.- front left, rear right, etc. and a lot less severe than DS vibes.
