Thank god he doesn't wheel a Jeep on leaf springs.You should try bringing up Long Arm suspension lifts.... Then you get to see a picture of Jerry hung up on a rock too.

I don't think the offset is causing your vibration. I put mine in with a 2" lift then I installed a 4" lift. I didn't get vibrations till I changed gear ratio's to 4:88 then I started getting a slight rythmetic vibration at 75 MPH. It was vibration free till then. Your SYE should with the cv joint should overcome your offset with no issues. I am guessing you have something going on with your rims or tires.How in the world did you get the vibration out. My rear yoke is 16.1* and DS is 18.1* but can’t get it out bc of the offset I’m guessing. Wonder if I can unbolt the motor and tranny mount to maybe crank it a bit straighter?? Vibration is at 65mph+
I have to poke fun, every time 8.8 shows up here, here comes Jerry!
I was getting vibs at 1* at starting at 50mph and when I went to 2* it’s now above 65mph. Being that it got a tad better maybe I should try 3* although I know it’s steepI don't think the offset is causing your vibration. I put mine in with a 2" lift then I installed a 4" lift.

I will tell you this as an opinion. I went to Moab and bent the my front drive line on a trail. It vibrated a bit at all speeds. I replaced the front drive line and then the rythmetic vibration came back or was noticeable at 75.
Based on that, I would think that if your offset was the issue it would vibrate at all speeds. Most of the time when you have a 65 mph it is something to do with the wheels and/or tires. I am not saying that is all of the time, and I am not even saying that is your issue, but most generally. If you can swap with a buddy with a known good set of wheels and tires, that might be a free test to see if that is the case, or at least rule that out.

I did already talk to himNormally when running a CV joint, the driveshaft and axle are recommended to be at same angle. After speaking with Tom Woods, they recommended 1 degree difference, or 0 degrees. I am no expert, but maybe give them a call? 3 is quite a bit.
Ok, glad they were able to give some guidance. Never thought that might need to slide motor/tranny around. Think it would help.I did already talk to him
He said maybe crank the motor and tranny straighter if possible first so I will I guess try it .
