My truck is lowered 4-6 and at 75 on the interstate is has a vibe that drives me nuts. I was told it is part of having it lowered 4-6. When we checked everything it was dead on.

You need a carrier bearing shim if it has a 2 piece driveshaft... if not you need to get wedged shims to put between the leaf springs and the axle housing.... your problem should be fixed.

Eating universals can be a sign of bad working angles in the drive line. There must be at least 1 degree of working angle,think thats the number been awhile since reading, or the needles won't load and spin.

I have the adjustable flip kit and the pinion angle is set within factory specs. Vibe is still there, because I set it and still had it. Then took it to a good friend of mine that builds race cars and he said it was spot on.

you may have something else wrong. check the balance of the DS, wheel balance, pinion depth, things like that and make sure they are all within spec.
