Hey so far I been installed lower my truck. Ride great. But I start nocited when I push gas full to acceleration till pass 5k rpm it'd vibrate alittle when change gear its feel perfect. Only when u push gas when rpm go to 5k they would feel it till they change gear. But when my truck not lower never felt the vibrate. Look like we need a shim or something for my lower on my truck. My truck drop on rear 4 inch. Let me know pls

what did you use to lower the rear? your pinion angle is off and you will need to install some shims.

+1, this is very common when lowering the rear. You can shotgun some 2* shims in there and see if it helps, or you can search this section for "pinion angle" and you should find a bunch of threads with pics that address this concern

you have to measure you're pinion angle to decide what shim you need.

there are threads on here if you do a quick search im sure you will come up with something.

Well measuring it is the right way to do it. You could probably get away with a 2* shim
