    can you school me on what a drive carrier drop kit is? I already regret it as it's been installed already and I am getting vibrations when accelerating and vibrations when coasting a little over 1k rpm. seems to get better the higher the speed goes. Will riding a couple of weeks and having it settle resolve the issue?

    You need to know that this does not always solve the vibration issues but it helps and is an easy install. You may also need axle shims. If you've already installed you lift, go with the drive shaft carrier drop kit. This is just my opinion but there's so many people on TW who have had the vibration issues so you will see different opinions.

    This is a bummer. Always wanted to lift my truck but if its not 100% perfect it can drive you nuts.

    Just a silly question but after installing your lift did you get a alignment ?

    first alignment was crappy + they put the billstein one notch up so I took it back and told them to put it at 0 factory plus re-alignment. They test drove it and agreed during braking there is stronger vibration and shudder. Got the alignment done with the spec sheet and everything appear to be in the green zone...vibrations during braking got significantly better but still there plus the vibrations during acceleration.
