I purchased a set of OME-CS033RB leaf springs from Dirk at DPG. These packs were supposed to give me about 3.5" of lift in the rear. I got 5" in the rear from these springs. Today I installed OME sport shocks, pulled it to a totally flat road and re-measured. Dirk swears that there is no way I'm getting 5" over stock. He said maybe 5" compared to my inverted leaf packs. However, I'm measuring 11" from axle to frame above bumpstop and 22" from bottom of flare to center of wheel hub.
When I took it for a ride, I was very impressed. Especially since the front needs to come up 3" and is running stock shocks. The ride was very smooth.
I tested for vibrations at various speeds and felt nothing. I thought I was gonna get away without any issues, until I went on the expressway. Once I hit 70 and let off the gas, I can hear something rattle or slip. It really only does it at higher speeds. I'm pretty sure it's the drive shaft slipping or something. I verified that the exhaust is not hitting anything. I'm not sure what to do. I have a H&T and new drive shaft ready to install, but I have a D35 and read that it won't work. I was going to save it for when I do an axle swap.
Does it sound like the drive shaft to you guys? What are my options?
It should be noted that the front is not complete. My coil springs will be here this week. So the front is 3" lover than the back.
