Talking to my shop foreman the other day, about a truck with a similar issue and he said they have had some that before i started back there they had put a set of traction bars on, and they fixed it, sounds like a wheel hop/spring wrap issue..

I just bought a 14 with a flip kit spindle drop and 24s vibration is some serious. Going to ballance wheels monday then see how it feels, what's this clamping the leaf springs I'm reading about?

Talked to a mechanical engineer friend at my gym yesterday. He used to be a service manager at a large Chevy dealership apparently. He said he believes it is the harmonics of our body/frame by design. Said there have been cases where the body mounts were all loosened and then retightened (not sure on details) and it at least helped.

I have already loosened all of the cab mounts, lifted the cab so the mounts would relax and let back down and still the same no change. I cant see how the frame is any different that the 13's

I don't know. I sure hate it though but I guess Ive gotten used to it enough I don't notice it most of the time thankfully.
