    It is a 2006 DC 4x4 short bed
    I put a set of reaver springs stage 1 on rear and bilsteins all the way around. Rear went up around 3 inches. Whole truck did. But vibrates when taking off.
    I have replaced the need bearing. Added spacer to carrier bearing. And added 3 degree shims to rear axle. All from toytec. And replaced the carrier bearing. Still there!!
    What else can I do?

    3 inch Icon lift with UCA’s
    Get a carrier bearing lowering kit
    Take you 30 mins to put in yourself
    Very easy stuff

    some do it stock, some do it with lifts.

    Do it feel like a little giggle almost right when you take off?

    Never did it till I put on the new shocks and springs. Yes, it is a vibration right after takeoff.

    I chased the same issue for a while and just installed things like the carrier bearing drop kit and axel shims because someone highly recommend it and I figure what the heck it's a cheap part.
    Don't fall for it, you will be wasting time. Each truck is unique and it's 100% worth it to take the time and go through the post TnShooter linked above.
    This will lead you to what solutions to try first.

    It was a frustrating learning experience for me but it felt good to learn more about my truck and solve the issue.

    I have same problem. That and my Bilstein coil overs are so stiff, I feel the tiniest crack in the road, like the springs don’t move whatsoever.
    I didn’t do any bearing drop…… yet! bought a digital angle meter yesterday, so whenever it isn’t freezing out I’ll attemp the driveshaft measuring before I start doing all the suggested fixes.

    It’s a crazy long forum to read, hope it isn’t so bad trying to figure it out. Already got a headache skimming threw it, but totally appreciate everyone who puts in all the time trying to help others
