    Installed OME Driveshaft spacer kit and greased the drive shaft, JBA UCAs, Sway Bar end links and outer tie rods. Here’s a pic of the spacer kit installed. Seemed to smooth it out nicely. B66AA153-9F37-467D-A379-1A9D120E38C6.jpg

    Is this the part that reduces the take off shaking after lifting the truck? If so, do you have a link to the part that you bought?

    Yes it is although it seems people’s results may vary. It is always best to measure angles and figure out what is really causing your driveshaft to vibrate.

    For my 2015 I purchased this ome kit to reduce my angle after lift and it helped but not totally gone. I will need to calculate and get correct angle shims for the leaf spring perch


    If you search for fk29 arb on Amazon it should come up. Think it was about 20$ to my door

    I emailed sPOD this morning and they called me back today and walked me through my wiring question. Awesome customer service! :thumbsup:Turns out I was right all along. But killing any part of my electrical system was worth the wait and the help.

    Tonight and tomorrow I will be finishing up my sPOD to aironboard switches wiring.

    I’m getting my sliders in a couple weeks and I’m trying to decide mounting angle. What degree angle are y’all mounting at?
