Vibration and Noise Issue

...new 8 3/4 ...sounds kind of like cast metal scraping ...it's mostly speed based ...has a horrible vibration to it at highway speeds ..."I took a look at the driveshaft while it was running and it doesn't look like it's turning around center" (explain please) ...I put brand new U joints in it a few weeks ago ...guessing that maybe it's a pinion issue (have you checked pinion angle?) ...car also just got brand new wheels and tires with the axle swap.

Wow! Lots of possibilities. Have you tried jacking up the rear and turning the rear tires by hand (car in neutrel) and listening for noises? What rear was in it before 8 3/4? You swapped the entire rear, not just the center section, correct? ..."I took a look at the driveshaft while it was running and it doesn't look like it's turning around center" (explain please) ...guessing that maybe it's a pinion issue (have you checked pinion angle?)
