Thanks everyone for the tips... some wheaties did the trick
Way ta go Arnold! Now take er for a spin and let us know how the ride has improved.
Just took her for a spin. I cannot describe how smooth it is. I am beyond impressed and pleased with how smooth the ride is now. Not to much body roll, not to stiff, ive literally been hitting every bump I can around town.
Although, bear with me here... I dont know if it is just placebo(it cant be) but I feel that my pinion vibes are way worse. And I mean WAY worse. Normally id feel a decent vibe at any speed/given rpm with a somewhat bad one at 2500 rpm in 3rd... now I feel a bad vibe at all speeds and at 2500 in 3rd my mirror starts shaking and it honestly hurts my head. I dont know if it is a "sound" but it could be from the hardtop glass vibrating and its pretty bad. Good thing im doing the tummy tuck in the coming weeks

more like adjustable control arms. You should have adjustable uppers already in the rear.

So, you changed lower control arms and shocks, right? Those new arms might be transferring some vibes due to both ends being poly. Just a thought. Also, the shocks may have raised your rear a bit. Maybe they will settle a bit over time. Tummy tuck is just going to make it worse, fyi.
Not really. On a 2 ujoint drive shaft you want the t-case rear output yoke to be parallel with the rear axle yoke, so the same angle. But, after a lift, you can go too far and make the ujoints angry by too much operating angles. You can fiddle with the uppers a bit and see if you get improvement. Otherwise, you can try lowering the t-case skid with some washers to see if that improves it for a temporary measure.
Will do right now. Thanks for that. Also you mentioned in an above post that the shocks may have lifted the jeep, One of the first things I noticed was my POV in the driver seat was angled at the ground. It is as if I have a rake now
Boy am I sure glad I went with DA uppers right now
Just adjusted the uppers. Still have some vibes but it helped a ton. Thanks yall
Just a quick "fix" my front dash speakers stopped working, I think it was because the way I boogered the wiring. I found they made a wiring harness 
. Instead of using the male to female connectors it came with, I heatshrinked and crimped the speaker wire to the harness so it will never come apart. I also put some polyfill stuffing in the front speaker area. Paired with the rear, this changed my overall sound by a ton. I am one happy person. I think im gonna put an 8" sub /ampin the ammo can at some point

Got some stuff done today, Mounted my Midland MXT275 on my ammo can, installed the upgraded antenna and cable.
I forgot to mention I built an auxillary fuse block a while back and mounted it in my ABS tray. Im gonna clean up the wires when I do highlines. I currently have my CB, Midland, and both my Rigid cube lights wired to the block. Now I only have two wires on the battery terminals. My winch and my fuse block
I also forgot to mention a long time ago I installed a Uniden Pro 510xl with a 3' firestik. Soon going to the 2' and removing the spring since it wacks the midland antenna a lot.
Here are some pics
