I put those leaf spring bushings I got from Independent4x in today - Man the old ones were close to shot - not worn through, but very sloppy and the shoulders were gone on half of them. It made a handling improvement so pronounced I noticed it just pulling out the garage for the first time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

At any rate, it also very nearly completely eliminated my 2000rpm vibration too. I can still feel it, but I'll bet no one else can.

I've only driven 10 miles so it is still a bit early to call it a total sucess until I have a few more miles. So for now I'll cross my fingers and venture to say that I think I have this vibration licked with a $35 set of bushings and 3 hours of work.

Thanks again for everyone's help!

PS: The bushings for spring eyes are not exactly right on my 86 Trooper. The ID was a bit too large. I had to wrap the bolt with .007 shim stock to remove all play. The picture is after my signature.
