Driveline angles! More or maybe less of an angle on the rear-end should help! Allot of lift on not allot of wheelbase is begging for vibration! U-joint life will be shortened and greasing them should happen allot more often!

Roger that on the driveline angle. Is it a 6" spring? (no blocks) easiest correction is to put shims under the spring pack to rotate the pinion upwards the desired amount. Available at most driveline or offroad shops.

Like this, if you don't have a local outfit that can supply them. Be sure to figure out the correct degree shim or you won't fix the problem. But even before that get your driveshaft checked out for balance maybe it simply threw a weight.

I have a feeling you're still using a slip yoke on that 205 transfer and that is a no-no with a lift of 4" or more. You will have to go with a SYE kit to eliminate the vibration, correcting the driveline angles should also be considered unless you wanna spend the big bucks on a CV driveshaft. Stay tuned with my latest post and maybe we both will find a SYE for the 205.

Here is a link to a company that has a S.Y.E. for your transfer if you need one
