With a standard 1 to 1.5 inch lowering, usually no. Stranger things have happened though.

Did the vibration start right after you lowered it?

Did you ever check the pinion angle? 1 degree split between drive shaft and torque arm?

315's will increase ride harshness, and noise. I suspect Ramey is on the right track though. Start by check that pinion angle. An unbalanced driveshaft, u-joint wear, or both will also cause vibration.
