Was the driveshaft indexed before you took it out to put the u-joints in? If not, pull the bolts of the rear, flip the driveshaft 180 degrees and reinstall.

Just trying to cover the basics. I have no clue what a contact patch or engagement is and Kyle knows his stuff...The only experience I have with a vibration and u-joints is a driveshaft that isn't indexed.
Hope you find the culprit!

Did you check the contact patch and engagement on the ring/pinion when you set up the rear?

So does that mean that you didn't check back lash, etc either?
THIS LINK should provide you with the required setup for a rear end to maximize it's life.
