Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
You can remove the rear shaft, put it into 4x4 and drive it or remove
the front shaft and drive it on 2 wheel drive.

Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
The top end of the track bar might have moved too. Did you get a new
rim also?

Re: 4 inch suspension nitpicking
Yup got a new rim and 2 new tires outta this. I just got back from working
on it today, took the front shaft off and drove around, didn't figure you
guys would let me just jack up the rear end and put it in gear. I still get
the vibrations though... so it must be somewhere back there. Maybe my
driveshaft is just outta whack, I give up. I'll wait until the shop can
take me in and look at it. I will let you guys know what the culprit is
when they let me know. I'm damn interested in finding out what they have to
say.
