    I'm Looking for a Cause of Vibration after installing an Add a Leaf (1 Spring) to my Prerunner, It Only Raised the Back of my Truck 1 1/2 inch. But now I have a Vibration at about 15-25 Mile per Hour taking off and slowing Down. The Next weekend i nstalled front Struts to complete the Leveling of my tacoma hoping the Vibration would go away, But it's still there. Any Suggestions?

    You threw your driveline angle out of wack,so you need might need a carrier bearing drop kit.

    Pinion or axle shims should fix that vibration. Of course you'll have to take apart what you've done to add them. The carrier bearing drop kit as suggested by @lynlan1819 might be an easier way to eliminate the vibration. When I installed a Toytech AAL on my 07 Prerunner a couple of years ago I also added pinion shims and have no vibration.

    BlkDakDave, If the Drop carrier bearing Doesn't work I will move onto the shims, I would do it but I don't know what degree I should go with.
