    Alright so this is a two fold post. 1st part is to log for my own sanity what ive replaced/done in search of a remedy. 2nd, is to get some input as to what I may be doing wrong.

    So a few months ago my 17 Sr5 hit 100xxx miles. I've decided to do some mileage appropriate upgrades/maintenance. I replaced the stock leaf pack (which had a Icon AAL) with some Skyjacker 2in lift leaf pack. I also replaced the Bilstein's with skyjacker Blackmax shocks (1-3in lift). Initially the ride was super comfortable. Then I added a 1in spacer lift and a u-bolt flip kit.
    I now have a very very noticeable shake/shudder from the rear suspension.

    I'm thinking the shocks are at the very limit of their down travel but not 100% sure. Any other recommendation's as where to start?

    Check the angle of the drive shaft. This assumes everything is torqued to spec.

    ^^^^ This. Sounds like you were good until you went back and added the 1" block.

    Hope you are able to resolve it. Nothing more annoying than driving with a vibration or shake!
