Driveline Vibration
 

I have read several old posts about driveline vibration with a 2"
spacer lift. What is this vibration like? Will you immediatly notice
it? Will it be more prevelant at different speed? Thanks for any help.

Universal Joints have a rhythmic vibration that increases with
speed, a vroom-vroom noise. Usually you'll see the telltale rust seeping
out of a dry or broken needle bearings.

In most cases you'll feel somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-28 and 45-48
mph. It's a low cycle rumble, sometimes sounds like a twin engine WWII
bomber's about to drop it's load on your new Bestop. It is a ":bad news"
problem, it will not only take out your u-joints, but has a not-too-good
effect on the pinion bearings as well, particularly on the toothpick size
Dana 35. . First sign of trouble is usually a leaking rear pinion seal,
followed by bad noises from the driveline as the u-joints move on from
groaning & moaning to snapping & popping.

Re: Driveline Vibration
 

I installed the 2 inch spacers about a month ago. Experienced the vibration.
At around 25 - 35 mph as Scotty mentioned.

I then installed the 1" transfer case lower and it has been fine ever since.
Dont forget to get a full alignment as well.

I ordered the skyjacker kit from Quadratec which recomended the Transfer
case shifter relocation bracket. It was a pain in the but, but it works
great.
