Default Vibration after heater hose mod

I just put a set of 4.10's in my car and while I had the rear out I did the heater hose mod. I also installed some prothane bushings in the LCA's. I have drove the car twice and I am getting a vibration in 6 th gear under load at about 55-60 MPH. Could the hose mod have caused the pinion angle to be far enough off that its giving me a vibration. Anyone else experiance this? I am going to reverse it tonight and see if it goes away.

I didnt pay much atention to how much the car went down in the rear but was hearing that it can go down as much as an inch.

I took my spring insulators out without putting any hose on my springs and I haven't experienced any negative side affects. My car cams pretty hard so if theres any body noise I don't hear it.

I put them back in today and run it on jack stands, suspension loaded, I think it might be in the tranny...... Its only in 6th. If I put it in 5th and run it up to the same speed it doesnt do it.
