Installed a rear axle

I installed a Dana 44 in replacement of my Dana 35

It’s has 5.10 gear with an ox locker. After installing I am hearing vibrations only after 3rd gear and only when I’m on the gas when in neutral nothing.

I do have adjustable control arms and an angle finder these are my angles at the moment

Diff 18

Driveshaft 15.7

Transfer 6.4

I checked u joints all are in good condition. Also changed transmission fluid with redline mt-90, Changed diff fluis with 75-140

Any help?

Removed my front driveshaft as my front is different gear ratio just to play it safe.

You need to measure your pinion angle and driveshaft angle. To start, the pinion angle should be set 1* lower than the driveshaft angle.
