First, lets see if we can determine what caused it.
How many of these things apply to your Jeep?
Lifted
Aftermarket front drive shaft with a double cardan at the t-case
Adapter at the front of the t-case that places the double cardan farther away from the t-case
Angle of front pinion and the drive shaft greater than a few degrees
Re-geared
Traveling at or above highway speed

How was your front pinion aligned with the drive shaft?
A double cardan at the t-case requires the single at the front to have no more than a very few degrees of misalignment between drive shaft and pinion.
Another factor is maintenance. How often have the u-joints been greased.

That could just be someone saying "Yeah, that'll be fine". And, some people get away with it. It's all the things that add up that can cause the drive shaft to vibrate to a critical point.
