    Is that your stock drive shaft? How did you settle on balancing vs bearing spacers, axle shims, or a new driveshaft (like Tom Woods)? Balancing was done locally, or did you send it away? Just curious.

    I bought a very low miles '05, put $9k down on it and have really low payments. Had the extra cash laying around so I figured why not go pay off more of the truck.

    Stock height and stock shaft, had low speed vibration and some at 50 mph. Also had two thrust washers in one u joint cap, not sure how I messed that up when i did joints a while back.

    Work was done at Drive lines NW Everett WA, they fixed my screw up and made it run perfect.

    Getting to start all over :)
    Got it re-aligned after doing the ECGS bearing... Come to find out my LCAs are seized... Something the specialty off road shop that put my lift on for over 700$ should have told me when they "aligned" it... good thing I like a high caster.. never going back there for sure. The new shop I went to is awesome! Told me imediatley what they found and balanced my tires for me (they were way off) So I'm ordering Moog LCAs and all serviceable joints (tie rods etc.) And they're going to install it all and align it again for ~400. Not too bad... If anyone lives up in Northwest WA I highly suggest R.P.M Performance in Burlington. IMG_20180313_164947232.jpg
