When you greased the splines, did you put the clamps in the exact same spot? Its a mistake I made 20 years ago and paid for it. So I mark these things now

Yes I did

Then the vibration is more concerning. I put fender washers between the cross member and the isolation bushing. That seemed to eliminate the rest of the vibration. I had it up to 100 and I have zero now. But I also dont have the tremor driveshaft.

How many washers and how much rear lift do you have?

Zero rear lift. Just one washer each bolt. Maybe i needed the correction from the factory who knows.

Update: Major DOH factor . My friend who had let me use his lift texted me today. He was back in the shop and found a new tiny white teflon washer. I had installed a new ujoint and apparently one of the thrust washers that go inside the ujoint cap had fallen out while installing. So I got another ujoint and disassembled everything again. Sure enough one was missing from the new ujoint. Reassembled everything again with the new ujoint and took a test drive. Night and day difference. Not detecting any vibrations now. Want to drive it some more but so far so good. So glad my friend found that washer. Would have been pulling my and JXB’s hair out. I’m shooting off an email to them shortly to advise.

Glad it was an easy fix and you found it fast. Next you might find the 100,000 10mm sockets we have all lost.
