    Hello everyone!
    Just lifted my 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 3.5 inches with a Rough Country kit (The one with the rear blocks), and got a slight vibration when coming to a stop and at about 15mph.

    Any ideas what could be causing this? I've checked online and seems there could be so many reasons. Anyone has had this issue, any KNOWN fix?

    Thanks!

    Did your kit come with shims for the rear axle or a carrier bearing drop? When you lift past a certain point your geometry moves far enough out of spec you can have problems. Shims will help readjust your pinion angle and a drop on the carrier bearing can keep the drive shaft better aligned. If you search this forum there are several good topics on vibrations after lifting. This may or may not be what is causing your problem.

    Did it come about immediately after the lift? If you put it into 4x4, does it go away? Start with a rebalance on the tires, and an alignment, then move on to measure the drive shaft angles to see if you need a 3-4 degree shim for the axle and or a carrier bearing spacer to bring it back into specs.

    There are some good videos out there on how to measure.

    Posts like this make me wish people would make the redundant "what lift should i get" thread questions.

    What the above posters said/asked.

    Wow! Thank you all for your input. Just got it fixed.
    Even though the truck was "properly" aligned and balanced right after the kit was installed, I noticed the camber was a bit off.
    Ended up correcting it myself old school style and got rid of the vibration.

    Might have been the All Terrains-tire edges munching on the pavement, which made it feel like mud terrain vibration on low speeds.

    Thanks again!
