Default HELP vibration at high speed

i am gettin a vibration around 90+. i never got it before. i installed pacesetter lt's and i know 1 side is almost touching a part of the tranny casing. could that be it some how or could it be somethin else?? its not the rims or the tires. it does it on both of my setups. i can feel it and hear it.

It could be your driveshaft, that would explain why it only does it at high speeds.

See that's what I was thinking too. I had the vibration and it was taken care of with the Belltech driveline kit.

Check that exhaust had a similar problem and my y-pipe was rubbing, never put the two together but since I adjusted it havent felt it.
