Just when I'm hard on the pipe.. it did it a weeekago when I was going up a grade at about 50.. would my alignment have anything to do with it or if my track bar was a tiny bit off? I just put new steering linkage on it last weekend aligner it my self best i could...But like I said it did it 1 time b4..

Sounds like a clutch slipping to me. Slipping and grabbing could cause that vibration.
The other things you are referencing can, and do, cause vibrations but you would notice them at other times... The fact that you are hard on the pipe suggests that your vibration is coming from elsewhere.
BUT... If your front end is loose somewhere... And since you did work on it relatively recently... You should have a front end shop go through the work you did and confirm everything is tight and aligned. It's possible that when you're on the pipe the front end is unweighting enough to allow slop to vibrate the hard parts. My money would be on getting your front end checked first... Need to do it anyways... And then I'd look at the clutch.
Let us know what you find!

wow scary 
id check all your lugs, maybe you have a broken one? set to the right torq spec.
might be worth a shop wheel alignment on the computer.
maybe you lost a weight?
tire air pressure ok?
check for seperation of tires. Any buldging,indentation or wires that can be seen?
none of the above then maybe ur ball joints are pooched.

1) Carrier bearing if it has one
2) U-joints
3) Axle wrap
4) Could also be something in the rearend itself.
Check for any play in all ujoints, check your carrier bearing, check for play on the t-case output (or transmission if 2wd) and your input at your differential.
