Yeah but the vibration was there before the lift.

Went playing a bit this weekend. The vid quality isn't that great, I confess it wasn't my filming.

hows the spartan locker? thinking of adding one to mine. is this your DD?

Damn good looking Runner! Light the white with black wheels.

When you said new tranny and transfer case, was it brand new? Or refurbished? Is the vibration felt under the seat or more in the steering wheel?

 

[Pab's]

The Spartan locker is great but I would not recommend for DD its a bit rough. The locker I liked for DD is the Aussie locker, it rode smooth, luckily this is not my DD.

Thanks for the compliment DW, the tranny/transfer were refurbished. The vibration I cant seem to pin point.

So if you spent all this time money on the general culprits and the vibe is/was there prior to lift...

have you sent the drive shaft in for balancing and aligned/straightened... Yeah i know its new doesnt mean it was done properly....


Is it constant reguardless of rpm/speed or does it get worse with speed or rpm?

 

[Pab's]

The drive shaft was balanced by a very reputable shop whom I've done business with for several years.

I'm just curious what you think of how the runner handles after that lift?

I've got the same thing and absolutely hate this lift, it handles like crap on the freeway. Very wishy washy!

Sounds like you need to do a bit more suspension tuning... A little but of camber and toe as well as some "stiffer" shocks usually fixes that.... And moving up in t-bar thickness can help as well... Ifs lift kits are a 1 size fits all but they still need to be tuned for your driving style

Ever get that vibration figured out?

 

[Pab's]

Nope. Everything that could be changed, has been changed so Idk. Next on the list is dumping that crappy 3.0, added everything up to do headers, exhaust, tunning etc. and its more cost effective to just replace it. Thinking 350 since there's a lot of info out there for it.
