Bilstien 5100 @1.75 with vibes

Bilstien 5100 @1.75 with vibes
Hello anyone. I just installed bilstien 5100's @ 1.75 and have a vibration, do you know what it may be and what I can do to fix it? 2006 quad cab with tsb. Any help would be appreciated.

Has it been aligned ? Mine are at 1.75 with the TSB and a Toytec 1 1/2 AAL . 265/ 75 16s . no vibes. Just a little squirrly if you catch a rut in the road the wrong way !

2008 access cab 4x4

 

ive got 5100's @1.75 and a 1.5" aal and no vibes... when do you get the vibes, and see if it goes away if you switch to 4x4.

 

Yes alligned, that's not the problem. it is a whrr....whrr....whrrr vibration that i feel in my foot and can hear. no other changes.

 

I get the sound and vibes to 60kmh and I haven't tried 4x4 yet, but this is definately from the new 5100's

some have an issue with a bad bearing on the axle.. and u don't hear it until it gets lifted (puts an angle on the axle) if it goes away when u go into 4x4 thats your issue.

If your vib is only up to 60kmh then i dont think that is you issue. Maybe try double checking that you have everything tight? if everything checks out its probably just your alignment

 

there are several threads on this...... I am having the same issue at 2.5 and with an 1.5 aal check out toytec for some axle shims and a driveshaft carrier bearing drop these might help and make sure your u joints are torqued to 75# i believe

 

just caise it goes away when you put it in 4wd doesnt mean its your bearing for sure

slam em all you want but after i lifted my truck 1.75 with 5100's and had the vibe i got a diff drop kit and it went away

 

Could you send me the link of the diff drop kit you went with? it would be much appreciated, how hard is it to put on?

You might be on to something, it does seem to go away in 4x4, but I need to do a more thorough check.

 

Hmm sounds like a spacer lift is better :/ jk

 

I have the same setup.
Billys @1.75" stock springs and Wheelers 3 leaf progressive AAL, with Light Racing UCA's, and 265-75-16 Falkin Wild Peaks,
This is an awesome setup,
ZERO vibrations, Alignment is spot on, No rub with stock rims (32" tires), wheels off-road great, rolls the freeway without wondering, 30K miles a year on truck.
I would like to move the front suspension to 2.5 " but it's runs so great now I wouldn't want to screw it up.

 

No vibrations, just the billies:

Here's the thread I started about the vib after lift and 4x4. mine went away when dealer changed front diff bearing covered under warranty.

Ya me to! got aligned.rotated tires. still there

 

nice thread dig!!!!


find the East Coast Gear Supply bushing thread.... get the 60 dollar bushing problem solved.

 

Pinion angle? Had this on my 05 double cab. You may need shims to offset the lift

 

Have you lifted the rear at all?
