it looks like your rear pinion angle is off alot. Truck looks awsome though, hows the full throttle ride and handle??

it rides unbelieveably well for that high. just like stock. I had the rear driveshaft lengthened 2 inches. As far as the pinion angle i have no vibrations and if the u joints hold up I will just leave it that way. I've had it up to 90 with no problems.

nice truck. I used to roll on 37" IROKS in my 97 3/4 ton. talk about a badass mud/sand tire that's not that bad on the street. lift looks nice, but you really need to do something about your pinion angle or you're gonna have a diff full of shavings soon. You may not think it'll make a difference, but once you blow out 10.5" ring gears in a full floating 14 bolt you'll know what I'm talkin about, I learned the hard way, but hey it made room for 4.10's :-)

btw, have you checked your articulation yet? your tires look like they're gonna rub like crazy in the back

shims for the axle are about 15 bux at autozone/oreilly's. looks like you need about 2*, can't really tell that well unless it's more of a side shot.

Awsome truck man, looks great, need a poster of that on my wall, but about that pinion angle i would get that fixed, rotate the axle a lil, cuz my friend had it happen to him, made no vibs or anything, just one day goin down I95 and it came loose, and well, got a nice hole threw the back floor pan, so i would be careful with that, but other than that, great truck
