If the vehicle is stopped when it is vibrating I wouldn't think it would be a u-joint. When you installed the lift did you leave the transmission bolts(the 2 on the bottom that locate it on the skid) a little loose and drive around the block before tightening them? When I installed my lift I had a similar vibration and this fixed it.

I agree, I don't think it is the U-joint either. I say even if you DID remember to tighten them, after a new install you should go over ALL the threaded fasteners several times to ensure they are torqued properly after being driven because just regular motor vibes can work them loose again.

Well when you drop the transmission/transfer case or in his case install a new transmission mount it helps to leave the nuts slightly loose, drive around the block to let the transmission shift around to where it wants to sit, then tighten them down there.

vibrating....can you give more details on this.
vibration: a rattling noise? great big knocking? shakes the truck? etc
maybe a torn engine mount from tilting the motor during trans mount install. shift cable/transfer case cable out of adjustment. u joint if it was real bad. low rpm at idle. in drive power is still being transfered to the rear and the jeep is being held back by the brakes so any part of the engine-drive line can be at fault
