I don't know if this helps but I have a 2014 with 157 inch wb on a 6 inch rough country lift. I definitely have a vibration, well axle wrap on take off. I am thinking the calvert racing traction bars might be my best bet. I also have a high speed shudder or vibration coming from the front end i haven’t found yet. Today I got the shop to put in some beads instead of wheel weights as I kept losing them. Still shudders at speed. Going to drop the carrier bearing 2 inches and put rear tires on front see if that does anything. Any help would be appreciated as well!

Appreciate the heads up. There are very few 157" trucks on here that are lifted but when the are they look mean. There was a guy on here who used the BDS kit and it solved his shudder on take off issue. Also another who replaced his two piece shaft for a five inch aluminum one and that fixed the problem as well. It seems to be all pointing to the carrier bearing. So I have called ProComp and talked to 4wheelparts who is doing the install and both have assured me they have done this lift on my type and never had an issue. So I will report back once it's completed and what they have done.

So here it is! No vibrations at all and the ride is solid. Ride height and the Nitto Ridge Grapplers are smooth.

Night shot and the day photos will soon come!

Here's mine, no vibration whatsoever on the ProComp 6" lift. They installed the carrier bearing shim at initial install, I can't understand why they wouldn't in the first place. Without it, they are throwing 2 unacceptable angles into your driveline. Go to another installer if they don't do it as a normal practice during install.
