Default 80 mph vibration: help troubleshoot

Ford 9" rear with brand new 4:30 gears ... I have a bad vibration at 80 mph, swapped the driveshaft around to see if it would help but it doesn't. Could my driveshaft be out of balance? What else would contribute to a drive line vibration?

It could be out of balance, and it also may not be fitting correctly on the output shaft. It may not be "in there" good enough.

it was a tire balance problem ... rotated the tires and the problem went away!
