Driveline vibration 05 F250 5.4L

Today I just received my truck back from the shop and they did some work including installation of all new greasable U-joints. Shop supervisor stated his mech had absolute hell getting the old ones out and ended up using a sawzall to get a couple out. The vibration starts at 45MPH and settles down around 65MPH. I will end up going under and checking things out for myself but would like some advice on what I can look for.

Truck has 77,500 and prior to the work being done rode very smoothly with no shimmies or vibrations.

Had the same issues with my 2005. Ended up taking the whole shaft (both front section, rear section, and carrier bearing) to a driveshaft shop for balancing.

Hmm, figured as much. I will probably get that done very soon. Will end up getting new carrier anyways since the old one is looking kind of rought.
Thanks.
