Ive added a 1/4 in space to the carrier bearing, removed the factory, adjusted the pinion angle till my ears hurt from the impact. The front shaft angle is correct, its either the rear end chattering in the flip kit( its on tight, trust me and seated)
Or its the leaf pack chattering from removing the front pin, or the angle is still off, but I can't adjust it any more. Plus I get a vibration depending on the road surface from 70-80 mph. It could be since I have air shocks, but Idk. I plan on getting a spring perch, setting the correct angle, welding it on,and throwing this pile of **** in the scrap trailer.

sorry to hear that good luck.

Thanks Tony!!! I own an 08 FX2 and I did the 2/5 flip on 22x9.5 with 305/40/22's and I've had no issues with this kit... i had the 25 mph shudder cause pinion was off.. FIXED... the the rear shocks I installed upside down made the rear bounce.. FIXED... I also had to cut the tie rods as instructed so I would get perfect alignment.. so this kit is fine...
the rod should be on top ? is that right?
If so, I've put them upside down too...
No question why I was bouncing everywhere with my trailer on :|

call up the person you bought from. Ive had more than a few cusotmers that the arms were mispackaged and shipped out from other vendors. ie stock gets mixed up they put arms in wrong boxes etc.
if its off 1 inch hopefully wrong arms weren't sent.
