Saw this in classifieds the other day from @Surfdc . Im sure most people are going to say double cardan.

I'm hunting my own vibration now. I'm at a 4" lift, but also had vibration with the 3". I have a double cardan DS, so we are thinking its something in the T-case. Gonna start with changing the oil tomorrow.
For Sale - SoCal: LandTank double cardan driveshaft
*Sold* Bought this from LandTank just a few months ago in hopes to eliminate a driveline vibration. Turns out it was something else. Barely put any miles on it. For those that don’t know this is a dc shaft from a Tacoma that is cut, then re-tubed and sleeved. Then new u-joint is installed. Then...

If you have vibrations with your 3” lift then a double cardan may cure it.
No, I think it started with the 3" lift. I think in most/normal cases the double cardan would cure it, but not for me.
I dont know when or if the t-case oil has ever been changed, so I will start there today. If there is still vibration, I'll rebuild the t-case.
I've also done caster correction.

Did you rule out the rear DS by dropping it, locking the CDL and driving it to the same speeds that causes your vibes? Often time the rear pinion angle is jacked up due to lifts.
No not yet. I will do this before considering rebuild.
There's probably close to a zero percent chance of curing a vibration by changing oil.
Still needs to be changed.

I think some of us grab a rear DS out of a third gen 4runner ( or some other Toyota truck/SUV) that already has a double cardan and shrink the tubing to match the length of the front 80 DS. At least I think that's what we're doing. In my case, I had a DS shop remove the DC from a front DS out of some other Toyota truck and added it to the end of my own front DS.
If no vibes, then I would recommend a toyota OEM shaft. you can buy a new one, or I have a used front and rear for sale. No pressure.

Do you want a drive line or a drive shaft? Front or rear or both?
A drive line is: transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, differentials, axles, housings.
A drive shaft is the link between the transfer case and the differential.
i got tons of parts but shipping is getting expensive and hard to do. fastenal demands most things be in a crate now and just the lumber cost alone to crate an axle are over 100 bucks these days. would be cheaper to wrap cruiser parts around lumber than lumber around cruiser parts.
