Keystone State Thread

OK. So do I remove both shafts in the rear. Put in 4 hi. Get on the road and make sure I stay under 50?

 

Sounds like your bumper is too heavy...

 

Did you have vibes before the lift you just installed?

 

I

Ignore u. Hell no u have experience. I want to try everything I can.

 

OK. What is a reference point to start with? Is say 15degree good more than 6 after that bad? Or is it more than 6 degree from zero?

 

I did put on a carrier bearing drop on as well.

 

Yes. So I thought the lift would help with it.

 

More than 6 degrees difference between the operating angles of the u joints.
I still cannot copy and paste, but the internet has some good visuals of what I am talking about.

 

Oh so the shaft is one piece for the carrier bearing? Then to the rear diff.

 

Yeah ur right. I just thought ( I know I shouldn't have) the lift would bring it up and solve all my problems. Isn't that y I got kings. That's a joke.

 

Switch bumpers to something a little bit lighter, and you will probably gain another 1.5" from your lift.

 

I am 99% sure that it is the rear lift that is causing the vibes. Barring something else not being installed/torqued properly.

 

I'll do that. But I would think the lift would help with the weight. But hey it isn't that hard to remove the battery.

 

And with 700# springs it will be rough as hell.

 

I still did not get an answer as to if the vibe was present Friday prior to starting the lift install.

 

I'm going to remove battery. Then I'm going to remove the rear shaft. And work my way up to the front. I will take photos and upload as I go along tomorrow. I really appreciate u guys sticking with me on this. I owe u guys a patch.

 

Sorry yes it was.

 

OK. Just putting this out here.
Back in November I put the bumper. Everything was fine. No vibes. Fast forward to June. I put in a 31m Northstar battery. Vibe as soon as I left the driveway. Get to end of June. I remove bumper vibe goes away. Put bumper back on vibe comes back.
Go to today I went from 19 1/4 from bottom of fender flare to center of hub.Put shocks on 10 turns and now it's 22 1/2.

 

Well, if he did the needle bearing swap should be able to rule out the driver side CV

 

It was unclear to me if the vibration was still present just prior to putting on the lift. To be honest this is the first I have heard about this.
