With all the builds you do, to you have a go-to solution? Thank you

Have you measured your drive line angles. The trans should be pointing down and the rear end yoke up. Their angles should be equal but opposite. Since you have an Explorer rear end I would put an angle gauge on the face of the yoke, measure, then on the face of the tail housing. I used a Wixley digital angle gauge to get my set-up but I think any decent angle gauge would work:

Harbor Freight sells one similar but is actually more expensive:

I've heard guys say just adding a few washers to their transmission mount to correct the angle took away their drive line vibration.
