    I have noticed an interesting studder, shimy, type feel to the truck from 0mph-7pm as you first get on the gas from a complete stop After if gets rolling it is smooth, but that first 50 yds seems to have a studder. Anyone else have this occur, and no issue. Not engine, feels more like driveline. Cant determine if in the diff or trans. Again, after the first 50 yards or even taking off from 2mph like a rolling stop sign it doesn't do it. just from 0mph.

    2.5 Inch level kit... I bet it is the carrier shaft bearing.... gonna look at the angle too, just got this one for my son. the bearing rubber is mushy. I can move it 1/2 inch or a bit more by climbing under truck and just push and pull up and down. thanks for the quick help. gonna drop it tomorrow.
