why would it hit only when you go 60mph? Are you sure it's not hitting when you hit a bump and the suspension loads? What lowering kit did you use? Does it say anything about this in the directions?

Are you it is not from the driveline angle?

something in the rear suspension must be moving under a load, causing the driveshaft angle to change.

if its a single drive shaft its posible you maybe getting shaft deflection underload.. most likely vibrating.. angle probably needs fixing
