Default The "vibes" after lift

Had it runnin good before lift with no vibes. New motor mounts, tranny mount and have not changed tires. 3.5" Metalcloak lift with full leaf change. I know, do a SYE, but I was hopeful I could get by without one. Do you think some shims or new u joints would cure it?

You may be able to get rid of the vibes by running adjusting the pinion angle with shims, only way to cure it for sure is with an SYE.

I've been readin and a little confused bout the SYE. Seems it's best to shim with a SYE? Just wonderin if anybody has done the hack-n-tap and used the front shaft on a manual and 231 TC?

You can shim without an SYE. I did not, but needed to with the SYE install.
