Could be the installation of the tranny.The u-joints didn't go bad while the driveshaft was out of the truck unless the caps came off and were not replaced correctly with all the needle bearings.

while you have the driveshaft out, you might want to crank it and run it gently. see if the vibration comes out of the transmission/t-case, or if its smooth.

It's not the u-joints or driveshaft if that is the case.

I am having the same problem with my 98. Did you find out what was causing the problem? I put on new wheels and tires and new u-joints and it still vibrates same as yours. I have a man trans.
