    I’ve got vibration at 45mpg but it seems like the new tires aren’t balanced right.

    My vibration is very low speeds, less than 15mph. Only noticeable in the steering wheel, nothing in the pedals or ride of the truck.

    if it helps any, my only vibration is the tiniest of shudders right at takeoff, and if theres any road imperfections you dont even notice it.

    The majority of people don't get vibes. Just be sure to take the right measurements prior to lifting so if you do get them you can address it more easily.
    You must not be too OCD if you still have them :p

    Only vibes I ended up with are a slight shudder at takeoff... Probably would only require a leaf spring shim to correct, but it is so slight that I haven't bothered.

    Elaborate, I'm not familiar with this. Sounds easier than the ECGS bushing and I would truly hate to do the bushing to find out it did nothing... other than save me the problem of doing it later.

    You shim between the axle perches and the leaf pack to correct the angle of the driveline to get it back within spec. This is why you record DL angles prior to lifting.

    Good explanation above... Biggest thing is to know is that they address different vibes.

    If I'm not mistaken, I think you can try putting it in 4wd if/when you start getting vibes. If they go away in 4wd, it is a frontend vibe and the ECGS should take care of it. If not, it is most likely driveline and a combination of shims and/or a carrier bearing drop should work. But don't quote me on that haha!

    Never measured DL angles before my lift on my 2006. Doing my 2016 tomorrow, best way to do it? Where exactly am I measuring?

    You can get a fancy angle measurement tool or just use an old protractor. You want to measure the angle of the DL in relation to the 3rd. Like where the flange meets the ujoint. Doesn't really matter exactly where just that you're consistent with before/after and I would do it in the same place so the surface you're parked on doesn't influence it.

    Quick question: 3rd gen kit ordered, didn't receive the bushings for the struts. They are supposed to come with this kit right? I don't remember ever having to buy them when I did this same kit on my 2006.

    Yes, all the bushings and hardware should be included.

    Edit: did you get them preassembled?
