ZJ CV style rear drive shaft help

So at my height of 4.5" I would bet my rear drive shaft is giving me a bit of vibs at high speeds (70+ mph) and was wondering where and what I can do to fix it. I drive a 98 ZJ 4.0l with stock control arms, and a 249, no I do not want a 231 if getting a 231 is the only way i guess i will need one and if you must ask a simple answer is just to be different, like the reason I love to off road where Im the only ZJ in the group of wranglers. If I'm not mistaken I need a slip yoke eliminator and a new drive shaft cv style, which is why I ask where do you get one? I have heard of a special U-joint that can reduce binding would that help?

Thanks for you time.

Wow,

how about getting some control arms designed for that height? Stock control arms with your stock bushings are probably what is leading to your vibes. OR, have you been wheeling and landed on your rear driveshaft? I've done that twice and had it retubed. There is no need for the CV or different driveshaft.
