Front end vibration/grinding

After I put my lift on I started getting a bad vibration in the front when accelerating abound 40-50% throttle or more, or turning (most prominent when turning left). It feels like it's on the driver side wheel area. I thought it was just the cv axle since the book was ripped. I replaced the axle with one form CVJ, and the vibration/grind is still there. It's a little better, but still definitely there.
I got the wheel off the ground and tried to shake it to see if the wheel bearing was bad, but it sounds fine and there's no play. Think the bearing could still be bad or hub?

Edit: Forgot to mention, it only vibrated when I accelerated hard when I first put my lift on. I went for an alignment and my control arms were seized. After the control arms, it started vibrating worse when turning and accelerating. I've made sure all the bolts are tight, suspension loaded when tightened, and got an alignment.

Only modifications:
OME 3" lift
Diff drop
No front sway bar.

Maybe a stupid question, but did you get it aligned after the lift? Could it be the needle bearing going bad in the diff? East Coast Gear Supply makes a replacement/fix for the needle bearing.

I think Wyanrard is correct. I have the bad needle bearing thing going on right now. Does the vibration go away when you put it in 4HI? IF it does then I would say it is indeed the needle bearing. Mine vibrates at any throttle from aboutg 20mph to 45mph then it fades away. When I lock it into 4HI it goes away compeltely since everything is locked up when in 4 wheel drive. Gotta get that bushing from East Coast Gear supply but havent had the time...

Nothing is locked in 4hi until you engage the center diff lock.

Mines a V8. I'm always in 4hi.

I went and drove around my neighborhood with the center diff locked. Nothing changed. It still vibrates when accelerating and turning.

What part do you want to see? The lift is just a basic OME 3" lift with 885 coils in the front, top plate spacer, and 896 rear springs. (Heavier springs for when I get front and rear bumpers.)

Everything suspension wise is brand new. Lift kit, LR UCA, OE replacement LCA, bushings, alignment cams, diff drop, cv axles.
