98 ram vibrates at low speed

Hey guys I'm new here I was just wondering if you could offer some help. My 98 ram 4x4 vibrates real bad anywhere from 0-30 and gets better at higher speeds. Ive already replaced my front axle u joints, axle shafts and wheel bearings + ball joints. It seems to be originating from the middle of the truck. The ujoints in the rear driveshaft and front shaft are good. The tranny was rebuilt roughly 10,000 miles ago and runs smooth and correctly. The vibration seems to get twice as bad in 4 wheel drive and 4 low slipped a few times and clunks. All of this seems to point to an internal problem within the transfer case. Any thoughts?

Is it a pain in the *** to get to them? What will need to be removed?

thanks man I will try this. When it happened to you what were the symptoms? Did it vibrate when downshifting to a stop?
