    Hey everyone, I am experiencing vibration on my 2001 tacoma. It has a 2 inch lift, I replaced the CV boots, U-joints on the axel, it is a standard truck. I also just recently put 2.5" rear axel shims and I still feel the vibration. Any other recommendations on what to check or replace?

    i chased a vibe for nearly a year. replaced lots of necessary stuff like control arm bushings, center bearing, even a ujoint.
    ultimately it was just my tires. cheap mud tires that where heavy and not balanced. i also couldn't balance them.

    i think what killed the tires was worn out control arm bushings and shocks. once i finally replaced tires, it was smooth as it's ever been. i don't have a lift though.
