Default vibration after lift kit in 4x4

I have this vibration in my drive train only in 4x4 above 35mph. Ive had someone tell me its my drive shaft. Its a rough country 5" lift. Any ideas? It also goes away after you let off the gas, but comes right back when you press the gas.

could be a u-joint on one of the shafts, or the bearing on the slip yolk on the rear output of the t-case (that much lift is VERY tough on slip yolk bearings, believe me, my cherokee has the same case)

vibration is likely to be coming from front drive shaft u-joints.
