    Intermittent noise on deceleration?

    Oh I just saw your post, very interesting I think even the the vibration is gone for now the grand mount did seem to have a fair bit of movement... I should really replace them maybe moving the transfer case down is firming the mounts up by putting pressure on them??

    Intermittent noise on deceleration?

    So I lowered the trams another 1/2 and the output shaft defiantly went in further and the noise is gone, weather it's gone for good not sure but seems good and feels good on the highway.

    Intermittent noise on deceleration?

    There thing I could do is put those zero rate springs in the rear because they apparently can help u either move you axle forward or backwards if you need it, then I could get back a bit of the length in that output shaft? Or can I get it lengthed for cheap??

    Intermittent noise on deceleration?

    So I just doubled checked my universal joints the one closest to the diff has a hair play on one side more than the other but fairly minimal, but I was looking at everything and the out put shaft on the transfer case seemed to have a little bit of play, not much but a little bit, about a month...

    Shim for rear axle has bigger center hole than pin size??

    Ya i realized after that it doesn't need to bolt up but the problem i had was the head of the pin barely sticking through so there wasnt quiet enough to index the axle properly. so what i did was i weled on a longer head enough so that it sat in the hole on the axle properly and it worked great...

    4" lift no vibration

    Ok sounds good how thick are the shims for 4 degrees? I'll look at how long the center pin is also just to confirm I'm shimming the axle to point more toward the ground? Thanks for the help by the way

    4" lift no vibration

    So what your saying is the flip caused my diff to point up more and I need to angle it back down to get the correct angle or close to? Why do I need new pins? Just for length? I replaced them a year ago

    4" lift no vibration

    That's what ithought but the driveline guy told me to wait and c if liftin the front affected the vibration, so maybe I'll drop it a 1/4 more and see how it goes, either way I love the way it feels with the flip plus new shocks it feels like a whole new truck im just anxious to put in the front...

    4" lift no vibration

    So driving the truck more I still feel a little bit vibration between 30 to 40kms. It's nothing major but if u really feel for it u can feel it. Do u think I should wait to c when I lift the front if that affects it all or should I lower it another 1/4?
