Default nasty vibration at 25+ mph

I recently lifted my XJ 4.5 inches and when i was driving it yesterday out of no where I felt a bad vibration at around 25-30mph. I'm not sure if its my rear or one of my U-Joints went bad.

Unbalanced tires? Driveshaft angles.

Did you install a TC drop?

I would install the tc drop and see if it solves your problem. I bet it will.

Yea, anything over 3" needs a TC drop to keep the driveshaft angles correct.

Yup, it is indeed the drive shaft angle. Same happened with me. TC Drop cured it.
