I wana try shims first I searched the forum n some guys had luck with 4' n a bit of tc drop but I don't want to. Last time I drop it my bolts gave out so I had to rethread n installed grade 8 bolts so I'm avoiding the tc drop for now

Okay got them on but still could hear it grinding at highway speed so I dropped the tc 1/8 so let's see what it does

I used the TC drop kit that came with the RC kit and measured my angles front and back and they are within a tenth of a degree.

Yes sir, just noticed you installed a CV shaft and hack and tap. I can't say I have heard of anyone with your problems. Most people have zero vibes with that combo alone. Best advice is to measure your two pinion angles using a method like THIS. This will tell you what degree shims you need. You want the two angles as close to one another as possible to eliminate vibes which are caused by differences between the two angles.

Okay it eased it out way much better than it was I think 1/4 will do it n also I notice I got a bad vibe on the front too since the back has eased out a lot
