Careful with what aftermarket set of axles you go with. They're not all just "better" than stock axles. Our rear ends are REALLY wide compared to ones most aftermarket axle companies deal with. So they'll probably just pull from an already heat treated and annealed blank, then cut the splines in. You want a manufacturer that will cut the splines, then anneal. Cutting the splines in after is ok if it's a +31 spline setup that has a bigger dia. to begin with. I couldn't believe how small the cross section of our axles were compared to a 12-bolt 30 spline, or a 31 spline 9" axles.
Did you determine that was the issue? It could be a bent or out of balance driveshaft. Hell, it could even be a tire/wheel. Did you check all those before messing with axles?

Good deal, but make sure the new axles slide in and out real easy. I was, and still am kind of convinced my housing is bent a little. A few hits with the t-brake is all it takes I guess. Anyway, if the axles don't slide in and out of the carrier real easy, then you may have a bent housing. It's not the most scientific test, but it's the best you can do short of taking it apart and putting it on a jig.

UPDATE!!!!!!!.
Axles are in,took it for a cruise and not one vibration,Still think driveshaft could use a speed balance cause everytime i bounced off the gov it seem to shutter.I also added bilstein front struts,trimmed bumpstop,doestch tech rear shocks and it handles so much better.To bad its raining again or id be cruising.Thank you guys for all your help,When i can get some time lined up ill look into tru trac/gears.
