Wick --

You had the conversion done -- Did it vibrate before the conversion?

If not -- It's most likely drive line.

An out of alignment will usually only cause accelerated tire wear. A severly mis-alligned configuration will cause crabbing.

But -- An out of balanced drive line will cause vibration. Also a dry/worn out carrier bearing will cause noise/vibration.

I'd suggest -- Either taking it to a drive line speciality shop and have them re-balance each drive shaft -- Or you take them off and take to a drive line shop for this work.

If the vibration just happened one day -- You probably just spit a balance weight off one shaft.

As far as noise goes -- What you attempted to do is neither valid or safe -- That being -- Jacking it up and applying power to the drives.
