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?

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
