    Hey all,

    My buddy and I just finished installing a lift over the last two days and I have some questions. Installed during the lift were: Fox coilovers 2.5 IFP (non-resi), DSM UCA's, all pro standard duty leaf springs, extended brake lines and an allpro u-bolt flip kit. I knew that vibrations were a possibility but I was hoping for the best by not ordering anything extra at the time of purchase. Unfortunately, I do experience vibrations at lower speeds as well as 25-45mph (ish). Keep in mind: I still have factory wheels and tires so I know it's directly linked to lifting. I've read so in depth about this prior to lifting but couldn't seem to find a definite answer. The only thing I can think of but is a bit pricey would be a Tom woods drive shaft. I would ultimately like to troubleshoot it without spending that kind of money. Therefore... axle shims, carrier barring drop, a drive shaft spacer? ... I really wish I had remembered to measure my drive shaft before this lol

    Also can someone please hook me up with a link for factory torque specs? Most of the links I found were no longer active :(

    Thanks in Advance
