Default Vibration acceleration

I've noticed that when I start to move from a dead stop, I get some vibration from what feels like the transmission tailshaft and driveshaft area. Did a search and most people said this is usually do to a pinion angle issue, but I'm running a stock torque arm so I don't think I can adjust it can I?

It has all new spicer u-joints also, and it was doing this before my 12 bolt install. Suspension is completely stock. Thanks guys.

It is very common for the transmission mount to be broken, as the factory front torque arm mount puts a lot of pressure on the transmission. A broken tranny mount usually makes a clunking sound and not a vibration but it's a good place to start at.
Next I'd take a good look at the factory torque arm, as I have seen them bend approx six inches ahead of the rear-end. This will cause the front of the rear-end to angle upwards, and can cause a lot of vibration. Bob

Where would the trans mount break? I checked it over briefly once before and didn't notice anything.

Check the angles and then see what that ends up telling you

yeah man, check the angle. The mount just might be making the trans a little to low. I have some washers under mine and it cured the issues.
