    I just installed a ReadyLift kit 3" in front and 2" in rear on my 2016 TRD 4x4. Had a alignment today hoping it would get rid of the horrible vibration,, sounds and feels like I'm riding on boggers...
    Nope it's still there,, have I ruined my brand new truck friends? I was truly hesitant on putting one on,,,I had no Idea a "leveling kit" could make a truck ride like complete shit. It pretty much only does it when I'm slowing to stop, like 20mph and under it starts.

    Driveline angle is out of spec. That's what is causing your vibs. That's why if I decide to lift I will be letting Toyota lift it. Even though they will charge an arm and a leg to do it.

    Check that everything's tight.

    What are the final alignment numbers? 3" front lift without new upper control arms may be on the verge of problematic.

    Slowing to a stop is the only time it happens? That's pretty odd and can't say I've heard that one before.

    I respectfully disagree. That's generally a shudder from take off (~10mph) or up to speed around 60mph. I spend more time on here than I care to admit and haven't heard of anyone having this specific problem. That's not to say it's not possible, but I Just haven't see it first hand.

    Pretty sure alignment has nothing to do with vibration.

    It doesnt your alignment can be way off and it wont cause a vibration, but driveline angles out of spec will and block lifts are more susceptible to axle wrap then an add a leaf or a full spring lift.

    Maybe your lift amplified it, but this sounds like the 'normal' shudder even stock trucks are experiencing.

    I've heard that is a pretty good low budget leveling kit. Maybe go back over the install and make sure things are torqued up right and something isn't loose?

    ^^^^ this! I had the same vibration between that mph on my stock truck. Because.... The driveline angle was off. They added the updated leaf spring kit with a shim to fix it.

    I'm skeptical the alignment is in spec... shouldn't really cause a vibration coming to a stop tho. Maybe something is loose.

    Driveline angle would be under acceleration from a dead stop or at high-speed's , 3 inch is pretty tall in the front could have a little flutter in the CVs maybe they popped one of the front CVs out when they were installing the lift hyperextended it and it didn't go back correctly. the alignment would have nothing to do with it . The alignment shop should've also recommended new upper control arms because with that much lift there's no way they got enough castor.

    So is this a known fix? I've been experiencing the same symptoms on my stock truck. If I call my dealer should they know about this?

    Same here. Vibration when coming to a stop - every single time. Thought it was a transmission issue - acts as if the truck doesn't want to downshift. Still waiting for first service to get the TSBs done.

    Appreciate everyone's input I have an update for you! The vibration is gone come to find out my rear blocks were installed wrong. The smaller tapered end goes toward the front it's about a quarter inch difference or so if that. But it made all the difference I have no vibration now slowing down whatsoever, appreciate all the input guys!!

    Are you experiencing a rumble strip type vibration when coming to a stop? Maybe starting from 28mph and lower? If so you will need the new leaf spring kit and shim that Toyota is adding to our trucks.
