Feels like it has a square driveshaft

I have a 1997 regular cab shortbox ranger with the 2.3 and a 4r44e transmission. It has a vibration thats noticeable at about 25-35mph and between 55-60. Changing the tranny fluid and filter had it running smooth for one testdrive. I also just replaced plugs and wires which was a really fun job with the dual plug heads.
