vibration while braking after new rear drums and u-joint

hey guys,
alright, i have a 96 f350, cc, 4x4
i just replaced the rear drums and rear most (driveshaft to yoke) u-joint.
the first couple drives were fine, but now i have developed a small vibration under a load from 0 to about 5/8 mph then it clears up ( possibly carrier bearing out of alignment after putting the new u-joint in?) but the big issue is the rear drums causing a vibration under any kind of braking, i know it is the right rear drum because i replaced only that side at first due to running out of day light. the first few drives were fine but after about 20 miles and a propper break in this shutter has just gotten worse, seems to be affected more by heat, the more i drive the worse it gets. any idea on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated. so far i have replaced both front pads, and both rear shoes/ drums.

if i missed anything please ask and ill help as much as i can. thank you

-Cody

edit, i have new rancho 900xlt rear shocks and procomp 900 up front. less then 1000miles on them.
