If you read the fred you will find Trewey has told you. Remove front shaft and drive in diff lock
If you are paying £150 for a propshaft you need to shop around more.
I'm 99.9% sure this is the issue. As with a new tight prop it's even worse than the sloppy old prop (and possibly why the UJ at that end was worn out)
What is the best way to rectify this?
Should I get a wide angle rear prop and double cardan front prop? Or does the rear look ok?
Also maybe that explains why the phasing of the UJ'S on the old prop was opposite to this prop as someone tried bodging it to stop the vibration (I bought the truck with the tyres and suspension already on it)

Both pics look fine, if you look at the yoke flange you will see it has cast hollow bits to allow the prop yoke to travel even further without contact.
Are there any signs of rubbing yoke to yoke?
But the cheapest set of std springs of ebay fit them and see if it sorts it, will cost peanuts as no bugger wants the old ones.
I think yuo will find the 40mm lift is just inside the tolerance of what the car can handle on std suspension without causing any issues, otherwise why would anyone do a 40mm lift when its always been in whole inches?

bit the needles go in.
probably just the angle, if you grab the prop and pull it back and forth, does the uj slide around?
Little update...
Played with the phasing of the front prop, made no difference. Removed it all together drove it 20 miles or so in Diff Lock and the vibration has gone.
Checked diff oil fine and backlash seems ok.
So I've ordered a double cardan 200tdi front prop from Paddocks. Fingers crossed this cures it!
