Default Rear Teraflex Driveshaft Question

I have the 4" Teraflex lift and am running 37's on a 2dr rubicon with auto trans. My factory driveshaft finally failed and needed replaced. I had a Jeep dealer do the install and I have a couple questions.
1.) Should there be any vibration or humming noise due to the new driveshaft install?
2.) When coming to a stop you would think I had a manual transmission and forgot to put the clutch in. The vibration when stopping seems similar to a stall without stalling. I wondering if the angle was set incorrectly or if there is something about the shaft that causes this sensation but no real problem.

By the way, Teraflex products are awesome and I'm sure this will be answered and taken care of quickly, as ususal.

Thank You In Advance

You should not have any vibrations with it. Could you post a pic of it? I'd like to see the angle that it's at. Thanks-Joe

OK it looks like your pinion angle needs to be raised some. You can extend both uppers about 2 turns, drive it and go from there.

Default What was the outcome with Teraflex's advice?

What was the verdict???. I'm in the same boat with a newly installed teraflex shaft. (my new teraflex front shaft is off pending getting the vibes out of the rear). My rear angle looks similar. Getting vibes at 30 and up. I previously drove on the front with rear removed to confirm that the vibes are coming from the rear.

Any info would be appreciated, thanks
