Question driveline vibration

K so I bought this 1990 bronco, back story sat next door for like ten years never saw it move (just around the yard). The owner passed away and it disappeared. six months later it shows up on Craigslist with an R/C nitro 2, 6 inch lift complete w/ new springs and coils. no blocks and appears to have factory 3 degree wedge. 8.8 open 3.55's round mounts to transfer and rear with the double cardan up front. The issue is 0-35 drive line vibration, I know this should indicate drive shaft angle or being out of phase but ?????
doesn't appear to be these, any suggestions?

Usual vibration causes: Engine, transmission (only one in VERY bad shape, but still), drive-shafts (unbalanced, improper geometry), u-joints, bearings, tires (uneven wear, lost balance, deformation).
