    Fellas any advice? Installed my icon stage 2 lift a few weeks ago with the add a leaf switched out for dakars. Since install I have had a vibration at takeoff (doesn't bother me) and a vibration at around 65 and up. The steering wheel and gas pedal shake and it's pretty damn annoying. Have tried installing the carrier bearing drop, rear differential spacers, neither worked. Pretty frustrated that I spent so much on a lift only to have problems. My next step is to take to tar heel 4 wheel drive or 4 wheel parts in Charlotte to have looked at. Any other suggestions? Thinking my driveline angles may be screwed up. Especially since my front coilovers are set at the 2.5" pre set height and my rear dakars add about 3" of lift.

    Sorry for the narrative just at my wits end. Thanks you fellas!

    So took my truck to a shop to have the front coilovers adjusted to level out with the back... listen to this... the back (dakar leafs) was 4 inches higher than the front, where I have Icons set at the factory 2.5"... does that make sense to anyone else? I thought this was crazy!!

    Buddy of mine has the Dakars and this back end is very high. He eventually took a leaf out.

    They will settle some over time. Stick something heavy in the bed for a couple months.

    I have a small one at take off but its a bushing issue on my crappy dakar leaf pack. I have some slight vibrations at various speeds but nothing terrible till you hit 75-80 but that could just be the duratracs i dont know. You've changed drive line angles enough that vibrations are just going to happen, not terrible vibe's but some vibrations. You can shim the leaf pack to slightly rotate your axle to correct it but honestly if you're below 4 inches of lift i doubt thats going to help.
