The new drive shaft is in, but the vibration lingers.

If you are getting the vibration in neutral I have a hard time believing its the drivetrain. Any chance the motor was rebuilt? How is the compression on the cylinders? If you have a cylinder that is losing compression, or maybe a weak injector, it may cause a harmonic vibration that only shows up in certain ranges. Vibrations are tough as just about any spinning item can cause it.

is it the same vibration while in neutral as in sitting in idle parked?
if not and its only at speed...how long ago did you have your wheels balanced if not any other above mentioned potential cause? check for dirt etc. built up on the inside etc.
low comression wont through a code unless its enough to cause a missfire usually... but it will definatly cause a vibration in the motor reguardless if you are sitting still or moving in gear... but it would show up most likely at a certain rpm in every gear, not just during a certain speed.
if its in a particular speed range its driveline or tires, or alittle both.

I just got rid of my RotoFlex. Converted to a grease-able GBR(Great Basin Rovers) rear driveshaft. Its a little costly b/c you have to convert the rear pinion flange to 4 bolt. But it got rid of my 35mph and 55mph slight vibrations. Everything rolls smooth now.
I'm not saying this is your problem, but it fixed my ever so slight vibration. Also I have a 2" OME lift and have heard DO NOT have a Rotoflex with any body lift.
GBR serviceable rear drive shaft on eBay $160 shipped
GBR 4 bolt pinion flange with oil seal $100 from Great Basin.(new).
Not a bad deal for now a fully grease-able front & rear drive train.
