Your angles should not be whats giving you the problem unless you have done something to change the angle of your drive shaft then started get the vibration. Have you done any kind of lift to the truck since your vibration started?

I felt like that too wanted to get rid of it but at the time it was my daily driver and I couldn't afford anything else . The garage that worked on it treated me good they were on a quest to find out what was wrong with it. they even set the driveshaft to a local shop to have them check it out they said it was good . but never could fig. it out , it was one of the best trucks I have had it never let me down , good luck
I would hope you have checked for things like broken bed mount hardware.

you mentioned that you had a little play in the transfer case. A little play can make a vib. I had hardly any play at all in my pinion end and I had a bad vibration. Ended up having the rear end rebuilt and the vib went away. i was shocked that the little play I had caused the truck to shake as bad as it did.
Thanks again for all the help. Hope my driveshaft is done on Thursday.

I got the driveline back and installed with the same vibration... Axle shims are on there way to my house so I will let you know if those help or not. If that doesn't fix it I am going to replace the xfer case output shaft bearing. When I get the bearing is there a brand that I should be looking for? Thanks again for the help

Update
Well after taking a long break due to frustration...the tire shop replaced the km2s with bfg kos. Huge improvement but still a very slight vibration I think due to poor balancing. Sold it and bought an 86 4runner with a whole new batch of headaches lol... Sorry for the long delay in posting and thank you everyone who posted up and tried to help.
