check your exhaust pipes for clearance issues, it might be rubbing somewhere like the downpipe for example, if nothing there you may also consider checking the 5 bolts that hold the turbo down. You need to just poke around a bit or give more detail describing your vibration.

I've experienced the same situation with both my '03 and '05 F350's (6.0 with a torqueshift tranny). The vibration only occurs under a high load, and then only for a few seconds.
My '08 F450 also does it occasionally, but less often. However, the '08 has 4:88's, and the F350's had 4.11's, so there is less loading on the '08 tranny.
Based upon my experience, I would not worry about it, but would be somewhat gentle in 1st gear).

You may want to try greasing the slip yoke. I had almost the same issue with my 06, and greasing the slip joint on the rear shaft fixed it. There is a write up in the tech folder on it.

sounds to me like you overloaded a little bit. I think you are having a pinion angle issue causing it. been there donr that.
can you move the forklift back on the trailer a little bit and take some weight off the toung. That may help.
