    Me too. Just put in 5100s all around (fronts at .85) and an AAL in the rear. Immediately noticed a slight shudder when pulling out that diminishes at 15mph or so. Even at hiway speed it feels a bit rough. I’m telling myself I need tires and an alignment that wasn’t done when the lift went in. We shall see.

    Pinion angle possibly. Need shims to correct or single piece, or double piece with double cardan after carrier bearing.

    My 08 did it from day 1 with the lift. I had it for 10years. My 18 doing same thing w lift, I just got used to it. It's so subtle that most of the time I never notice

    Yea that's driveline angles, huge thread on it here somewhere. Most of us measure and throw axle shims and/or center support bearing spacers at it until the trucks happy. I'm at roughly 80k and thought maybe it was my ujoints or bearing since I've been lifted since buying the truck, replaced them all and still have vibes so def still my angles being a little wonky. I have dakar leaves so I think the flat nature of that pack lends itself to axle wrap.
