Replace Drive Shaft no go
Replaced Tranny Mount with Poly, no go
balanced wheels over 8 times no go
alignment redone, no go
replaced rear wheels with known good working wheel no go
replace rear end form stock to Ford 9 inch with 4.11's no go
Changed front sway bar, no go

I am at the end of my wits, what else could be causing this VIBRATION!! Sorry just a little mad that even after replacing all the above still no go, should I change out shocks and springs? change out tranny alltogether? I am lost I had a 01 SS with ZERO problems, this damn TA is pissing me off.

Please help!

Thanks
I have this exact same problem. I have replaced the:
Torque Arm - G2
LCAs - BMR w/ relocation brackets
PHR - BMR
Tires - F1 GS-D3 275/40/17 with Road Force balance, crappy, gonna get redone
Front end alignment - crappy, gonna get redone
Driveshaft - Denny's HD Steel (made it a little better)
Tranny mount - polyurethane
Springs/Shocks - SLP Eibachs / Bilsteins

Vibration started when I added the wheels (Boyd Coddington) and tires (Kumhos). I have had them rebalanced countless times and rotated from front to back countless times. No vibration in the front, only from the rear.
I am gonna check the shocks for leaks in a couple of weeks.

I just had them road force balanced with no change in the vibration. I need to swap out these wheels for another set to see if it is in fact the wheels.
