Default Excessive vibrations

Hey all, so I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 5.2L, It has a 3 inch body lift with 35's (Otherwise its stock), For the last few weeks I have been getting a mild vibration coming through the drivers side floor and gas pedal (Nothing thorough the steering wheel) It is not very noticeable while accelerating but when I let of the gas it is quite noticeable (It is also quite noticeable when I am braking to a stop), as I slow down it seems to go from a quick vibration to a longer vibration (If that makes sense) and by the time I am coming to a stop its almost a clunking, I have recently replaced the front drivers side u-joint (half inch of slop and the passenger side is still tight) and emptied and checked the rear diff (I have the Lsd and made sure to get the right gear oil and to add the friction additive)

I would appreciate any input and any suggestions you may have to solve my problem, I can elaborate on any points if its unclear or more info is required

Sorry for the drawn out explanation

Check rear u-joints as well.
