Default Vibration when pulling

My cossie 4x4 vibrates or judders when pulling between 80 and 100 kph but clears when faster. Have put in racing engine mounts as old ones were shot, that improved it but not cured. Checked front prop shaft for tight UJ's but all good. Checked front driveshafts and minimal play on inner joints when turning it not up or down but there is a snicking noise from LH inner when turning wheel backwards and forwards. Gearbox mount seems OK rear prop shaft centre mounting has lift in it but they all do don't they. Vibration feels like wheel balance but is not as this was first thing I did. Any ideas?

I would get the wheels balanced as its easy and not expensive,

I would concentrate on the clicky joint.

I have done the same thing, balanced them twice, thought I was going nuts, it has the same symptons as wheel balance as you can drive through it , at 220 kph it is as sweet as a nut. Thanks will try some other tires of another car
