As of now Ive just been living with it shaking at 60 MPH.

Im trapped in this place where I am planning on buying a Gear Vendors setup, which will need a shorter shaft. And I want to put a 1350 yoke in the rear end, which will need a different end. And the closest driveline shop is an hour and a half away, only open during my normal working hours. Between the shop being a long way away and not wanting to have to pay for driveshaft work 2 or 3 separate times Ive been waffling about doing anything.

I want to do it all at once, but that's maybe more money than I have at the moment. Lately I have been considering taking it up and getting it rebalanced and seeing what happens. Or possibly having a 3.5" shaft made that might be less susceptible to shake.

It seems like general consensus is that really bad angles mostly cause shake at low MPH. Mine being at higher speeds are more likely a dynamic vibration. So Im going to look for anything loose and then baring finding anything have it rebalanced.
