Default Post 3inch vibes

so I just put my new rc 3 inch add a leaf in with the lcas. I was expecting vibes so now I just need to know how to get rid of them. I put 2 degree wedges on the read axes to angle the yoke up. That helped a little so the i lowered the transfer case about 1/4 of an inch and there is still some vibes between 20-30mph and also at high speeds (55-65). Should I buy a tc drop? If so how big. And should I angle the rear end another 2 degrees? Any suggestions? Thanks, chris

Most T-Case Drops are an inch. A SYE would be the most desirable fix but I'd say get an inch drop and forgo the wedges.

Inch drops suck for clearance. I nice solution i just picked up is the rusty's drop x member. Built in drop but you lose no clearance. Its beefier than stock.

Then there is hack n tap with a front driveshaft. Still cheaper than a full blown sye.

Last ofcourse is a sye with new driveshaft. Big money but def no more worrys.

Shimming you axle is great also. 4 degrees should be what you need but no true way to tell unless you measure.
