A shake at that rpm can be a few things. Driveshaft alignment through the steady bearing - you can shift the steel support band laterally and see if that helps. A universal joint can be loose or tight - remove the shaft and articulate all of the u-j's to determine which it is. The trans mount can be split or soggy and change the shaft alignment. The steady bearing may also be worn - check it while the shaft is out. Trailing arm bushings might be allowing too much rotation of the axle housing.
