After installing my lift a little more than a week ago, I measured my driveline angles. The lift is an RE 3.5" SR with full springs. As noted in the drawing, the output shaft and the pinion shaft are within 1 degree of each other, while the shaft angle is 16 degrees. I understand that an SYE is in order, but my vibes aren't bad enough to get in a hurry. Can anybody tell me how this compares to their non SYE angles? I'm not trying to solve a problem here,,, just curious.

Get a 1* or 1.5* shim and put it between the spring and the axle.

an sye shortens the length of the output shaft allowing a longer drive shaft, therefore decreasing drive line angles.

shims are cheap and easy.

I have a set of 2.5º shims. I think I'll try them out.

I did a TC drop and about 75% of my vibes went away. Thats where I come up with "minor vibes". Thanks for the advice.

Thanks alot there smart guy. If you would read my hole post you will see that I said I recognize an SYE is in order.

Now let me get this straight, when it comes to vibrations it's positive/negitive, black/white, all/nothing, unacceptable/fully acceptable. I must be missing something:smoker:
