    So I hear (read, actually) that our trucks vibrate. I have a 2015 and never really noticed. Put on some HS aal's and now I feel it more keenly under acceleration. So-what is the solution to a vibration free Tacoma? What are the problem areas and what are the recommended changes? Thanks

    Get used to it. Choosing to lift your truck as it consequences. You can start with a 2-3 degree shim under the the rear leafs and a carrier bearing drop bracket and see it that helps.

    I wonder if this vibration is limited to 4x4 and/or lifted trucks?
    At close to 49K miles, my 2015 2WD PreRunner has no vibration.

    Op, trucks vibrate and make noises.

    the real question should be how severe?

    No, I get that this is a truck. The vibration was there when I bought it. Now that I have the AAL in there it is more noticeable. I am just looking for areas that I can work on to try and reduce it. The drive shaft is a bummer, but there are less expensive things I can look at-and so far I have taken some ideas from this post to try. Just what I wanted. Thanks everyone!
