    Questions for all the experts out there so I can try and preserve my sanity. I am well aware of that fact that no two trucks have the same fix for driveline vibration but can anyone who has installed a bundle from Headstrong of Maxtrac spindles and OME dakar leafs comment on their findings. I have tried with 2*, 2.5,* 3* and no axle shims each with so many variants of a carrier bearing drop that I've lost count and still no luck. I researched this to death and read every post about measurement but can't seem to get it right.

    Lift = Vibrations. Lol, many a people have tried to chase down random vibes. Some fix it, others don't. Sounds like you've tried the majority of the fixes...you might be SOL

    Is it accurate that shops won't make a one piece for a 2wd because of the longer length? I was hoping to pick one up till I read that.

    Shops will make you whatever the F you want if you're willing to spend the money. That's a fact.

    I'll double check the u joints for sure, didn't think they would be done after 45k but who knows. There were also 0 vibes before the lift was installed and went from 0 to ridiculous instantly post lift. I've gone as much as about a 1" drop on the CB so the Beefed taco at 1.5" I'll give that a look as well. Didn't think id need to go that big with the dakars lifting the rear less than 3"

    I don't have the driveline vibes with the lift. I also didn't need to use the carrier bearing spacer. I have the Dakars. Did you try running the truck without the carrier bearing spacer?

    Indeed I did. Even with no CB spacer I had take off and 60-65 mph vibes. Did you have to shim your rear axle at all?

    Hey TW just wondering if i can have the 4inch spindle withe the bilstein 5100s set at 0 on stock springs with a 2 inch block in the rear to level it out and then in the future i want to eventually add on a better leaf spring in the rear so i can extend the billys at 2 inches to get close to a 6 inch lift.
    FYI as of now my truck is completely stock and the height in the front is shorter than the back so the spindle would more than level out my truck which is why i would get a block in the back

    Yeah that's totally doable the spindles are designed to provide 4" of lift & still be able to use stock suspension. Headstrong actually sells a kit with the spindles & 2" blocks. Adding to it in the future is also a possibility.
    Here's mine, front- spindles & billies set @ 1.75 + 1/4" top spacer for 6.25" rear- all pro expo leaf packs & 1.5" blocks for 5.5".

    Anyone running the 16" FJ Trail Team Wheels, can you post a photo from the front to show the offset of wheels?

    Also, anyone running 17" FJ wheels, any photos? Do they clear spindle with no spacer?
