    I have a 2011 Tacoma DBCB TRD Sport with the infamous vibration on acceleration. Mine just started recently and starts around 10-15 mph and smooths out around 25-30 mph. I have searched and read many threads regarding the carrier bearing, u joints, leaf sprints, needle bearing. I thought maybe it was the needle bearing because I did just install 5100's earlier last year. I have them at the .85 setting in the front and I added the driver side lean spacer. A lot of people said that it doesn't happen to them in 4wd when it is the needle spacer. I tried that and I still have the vibration. I have no grinding, groaning, or squeeling. Only the vibration, but after 25-30 mph it has none whatsoever. I'm just trying to figure out a place to start, as I just don't want to start replacing parts and it make no difference. Any good place to start? Thanks!

    You lifted the front, did you lift the rear too?
