    So I’ve searched the threads on here and am not sure what the right answer is. If I’ve missed the answer due to lack of proper navigation I apologize in advance.
    I just put a 3 inch OME lift on my 07 SBDC Tacoma and developed the dreaded vibration issue. I looked at the spicer diagram for the correct phase. So here’s my dilemma...I checked the pinion angle with digital protractor and it matches the transfer case flange at about 6* each. BUT the drive shaft coming out of the transfer case is angled downwards to the carrier bearing. Which means in order to have them in line I would have to raise the driveshaft but that is not possible since I can’t go any higher at the carrier bearing mount point. Does anyone know what my next step might be? I ordered new carrier bearing and u joints (3)...minor play in joints and carrier bearing sagging so a bit off center but not enough to get driveshaft in line with transfer case. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

    Go to spicer.com. They have some good reading on the u joint angles on how and where to measure them.
