Relocating the crossmember to mount under the frame is one way...

I had very little luck fixing a vibration by lowering it on a 4" lifted '93 Supercab (reduced it somewhat, but wouldn't eliminate it).
A much better option is to swap in a one piece driveshaft from a '98up Ranger (the '98-'00 steel shafts being the most desirable).

The carrier bearing on the rear driveshaft? Like this

Or you can swap in a one-piece

A buddy of mine took of the crossmember from his 94 ext cab and ended up cutting and re-welding it so the bearing mount was lowered almost an inch. It has almost no vibration with his 6" lift.

I wouldn't bother dicking with it. Just swap in a one piece shaft and be done with it.
