in the hour or more standing there cursing and tryin not to get hit. i dissconnected everything i had hook to the batt. lights,amp,etc. popped the cables off and cleaned em the best i could (sandpaper). reconnected everything and still nothing. it is like it is just plain dead. i'm used to dead batts, seems like it drove off of batt power till it quit. the starter is fine, bought less than a mnth ago. i'm just at a loss, i just hope i dont get shafted for alot of money when it winds up being a flat dead batt.

you shouldnt get vibes from .5" but youll be sorry you didnt go a lil higher. Go with a budget boost. Zj upcountry springs and a spacer and s10 bastard pack or xj leafs from jy. Even with that you should get any vibes

there are a couple of things that cause vibes after a lift. It also depends on the differentials that you have. A tc drop can help eliminate most driveline vibe cause itll line up the shaft at a more proper angle. Some ppl though complain that they still have slight vibes afterwards

most of the time vibes are caused simply by people not shimming the rear axle pinion angle correctly after a lift
