    I second the ubolts. Tap on them with a hammer. They will sound solid if tight and hollow if loose. Also check torque arm bushings and bolts

    Well the shop decided they were too busy to put the truck up and wind it up. After new drive shocks it got better briefly, or so it seemed. 3 of the shocks were bad, so I definitely got an improvement in the ride quality but the vibration still lurks... It is not as prevalent as it was, but it's still there.

    Carrier bearing is next (if nothing else for the peace of mind), along with a PM and some grease. I will check the U bolts soon. Going to keep an eye on the U joints and the power divider.
