No, a bad shock wouldnt cause a bad vibration.
Check your wheels to see if a wheel weight came off, also maybe check the driveshaft to see if a weight came off.

Bobby is right can't cause vibration, but I have the rancho's and I like them.
Check your wheel balance first.

Describe the vibration. Is it only when turning? Say like accelerating from a light and turning at the same time?

It sounds like limited slip chatter.

Somewhere in the drive-line, or something loose in front-end?
