    So anyone that knows or has reasonable knowledge please chime in. I just want to avoid everyone throwing guesses out.

    I have a 2012 DCSB with a 6-speed MT. I have noticed a couple times that i get a shudder or some type of vibration when taking off. Once i get up to about 10 mph, it disappears. I only happens in first gear, and seems to happen more when I am on a hill or drifting back. Also seems like if I am turning and starting out it is worse. It still isn't too bad, but since i just installed the lift I am really in tune to vibrations, but I honestly think it happened before the lift. Thanks for any info you can provide. I am not a mechanic and have very limited knowledge. I just love these trucks.

    Vibration or rubber banding?

    What lift are you running in the rear?

    I have progressive AAL (including overload) and noticed the same take-off shudder after install.

    The OME carrier bearing drop fixed mine.

    What tires you running. Mud tires can give this feeling as well.

    I have Dakar 095 medium. Shudder is the best way to describe it. I have the carrier bearing drop installed. I have full OME kit from headstrong.
    I have Dick Cepek 255/85/16. They are a mud tire, so it very well could be the cause.

    I have this on my 15 dcsb 6-speed MT since installing my suspension last year. It is the same viberation with or without the carrier bearing drop installed. I would say it only lasts until approximately 8 kph and not the 10 mph as yours does. I notice it most in the stick shift. I have Dakar leaf packs with the ome aal and a 3* axle shim. It gets less noticeable when I have a bit of weight in the back. I have no other vibes after installing my suspension.

    Edit- current tires are 265/70R17 Duratracs.
