Well, damn. I hope that isn't it. I just had the driveshaft rebuilt/rebalanced less than a year ago. Since I'm about 17* of depression from the tcase, could I just be reaching the upper limits of the CV joint?

Well, I haven't checked the new angles, but I think the vibes are worse now with the 8* of shims under the spring. If they are not worse, and it is just in my head then there definitely wasn't any improvement whatsoever. I'm going to have it aligned tomorrow, so I'll talk with the guys there...

Yeah, even that page says 1 to 2* of separation. I'm going to throw my 2* shims under the 6* shims and see what happens. If it smooths it out I'll be calling around to get some prices on some welding to move the perches.

I see what you're sayin' there. Everything I've read points to 2* separation between the angles. I'm also going to pull the front shaft tomorrow an just make sure I've not got something else going on up there. After I rotate the tires tomorrow, I think I'll just 'self-shim' the axle a bit to...

OK, so I just got done with adding about #800 of concrete bags to the rear. Got the angle down to about 1.2* of separation. Still have some vibes at 30. The vibes are mostly in the steering wheel now, I don't feel them hardly at all any more in the seat with this degree of separation...

I'm just making sure that if I add weight to the point I don't get an vibes, I can use that angle separation to determine the proper degree of change I need to see in the axle. Basically, the weight wouldn't have any other effects except to lower the chassis to axle height and lessen the angle...

No, I did not relocate the perches. Should I do that instead of shimming the rear to 8*? OK - so, I'm thinking correctly here.... Could I use transfer case dropping to figure out when the driveline angle is correct, basically by dropping it - what, maybe .25" at a time until it doesn't...

U-Joints and centering ball are all brand new NEAPCO's. I had the shaft rebuilt/balanced/ and shortened by a driveline shop here in FL. I've got the AW4/NP-231 paring under the Jeep right now. I just remeasured the angles at the U-joint and got 15* yoke and 17.5* shaft. Should I try throwing...

If any of the bearings are going out, would they be more pronounced under power? Before the lift there were no vibes, then vibes right after lift. The SYE and shaft just made them less noticeable. With the rear shaft pulled there are no vibes. I had the shaft shortened and rebalanced last...

Driving around with my rear pulled, I have no vibes. I think that pretty much narrows it down to the rear shaft or the H&T, right?

I lifted the Jeep about a year and a half ago with the RE 3.5 superflex, full leaf packs. Did the IRO H&T SYE and am running a rebuilt and shortened front DS and 6* shims at the axle. Anyway, I've always have driveline vibes since the lift, even after the SYE. My shaft is at about 17.5* and...

I got about the same amount of lift on mine

RE6130 shipped to 32566 also HnT SYE

How is the ride on these lifts? As mine sits now in stock form, it's very bouncy.
