    thanks jhodge, i noticed tonight that when i went over 60mph in 5th gear the vibes werent bad, but when i let off the accelerator it sounded like metal grinding in the rear. i didnt feel anything as far as more vibes with this, but it definitely concerns me. anyone ever hear of this?

    yea they are all set at 32 as of now

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i havent heard of anyone w/ actual grinding in the rear. most have a takeoff vibe that can be fixed with a carrier bearing drop or axle shims

    anyone else have any input? to try to make it make sense... when im in 4th gear and i hit about 50-55mph and push the clutch in, i hear a rattle-like noise (sorry, its rather hard to explain) that doesnt sound so much like metal grinding as i thought it did, but i get the same noise when i let off the accelerator and when i press the clutch after goin this speed. the vibrations im having are very minimal and im not having any wondering around the road.

    Anyone have c/v boot issues or other issues with the 5100's set at 1.75" as the "spacer" lift does? Is there any "negative" side affects that you have to watch for?
