Was the driveshaft torqued back properly? Only other thing I can think of is tires need to be balanced. Can you tell where the vibration is coming from?

You could try hand balancing it using hose clamps and moving the clamp around the shaft and seeing if the vibration goes away, or have the driveshaft professionally balanced (which is not very expensive - maybe $50, tops?)

I had the same issue on mine. I pulled my stock driveshaft and changed the U-joints. Unfortunately, while changing my U-joints, my driveshaft got squished too much in my vice, and I ruined it. Bought a 4" Aluminum driveshaft, slapped it in, vibration went away.

Check the U-joints first, make sure they're good. If they're fine, look into getting it balanced professionally.

If it's not the driveshaft, it's possible you could be having rear end issues. Check into the driveshaft first, as rear end difficulties can get expensive, especially if you can't work on it yourself.
