Looks great , Ive been looking to taking off the stripes on my truck and wasnt sure if I would like it . Now that I see your truck I love it . Im a little nervous about the vibration what needs to be done to not have that problem , is it a alignment issue with the driveshaft.

How's the vibration at higher speeds , curious since Im racing the truck in the 1/4 from time to time it will get up to 112 by the end of the 1/4 . Wondering if the vibration you get is just in the low mph range.

Just low end. 15-20mph after that its smooth, I've had it up to 90 with no other vibes. Played with shimming carrier bearing but no dice. I'm gonna play with the pinion angle this weekend. The vibe is mild on normal driving, but heavy if I goose it from a stop. I figure my pinion needs to go down a couple degrees to account for the torque.

getting the right shim on the 5 inch kit is tricky. Ive done a lot of 12s locally and some trucks you can get it right and some it takes time. 2 or 4 degree sometimes does the trick but then you get the ones where is 6 degree thats a big shim
