I got a mean driveline vibe since I replaced my carrier bearing. also should my rear driveshaft be balanced?

Did you mark the front and rear halves of the driveshafts to keep them aligned properly? If you didnt put the two halves back together the same way you took them apart you can get a vibration because the 2 piece driveshafts are balanced as an assembly, not as seperate halves.

sorry about the long wait...hate not having internet...

I thought the 2 pieces only went back together 1 way, theres one larger spline.
it doesn't help that the yoke on the rear was welding on and never balanced, but before i replaced the carrier bearing the vibration wasn't this bad

you need to re balance the drive shaft.
