you need 1 of these . magnetic one . . you placed it on th yoke . make sure your truck is parked on a straight* your angle should be - 2 or close. .. like -3 or -1 . .so when u floor it it's at a perfect angle 0 . . you could also place the angle on the driveshaft where its parallel . . . i'll post some pics later on so u can have an Idea' if ur angle is positive , you need Shims' .

yep, 2-3* you tranny should point down 2-3*, which it does since it's stock. And you're rearend should point up 2-3* this allows the ujoints to use all there designed movement, and minimize vibration and potential ceasing

The tool is on its way, i will let you guys know what i am at when it gets here. The pinion angle is all thats left. At 70 im getting a choppy vibration that just gets worse and worse.
So if it was tires it would be constant, shaft is balances, ujoints are new, if it was a diff problem it would be constant...i have just kinda checked everything off 1 by 1.

it could be tires easily. i just got some new ones that weren't balanced and it would start to shake at 70 and up, got them balanced and now 120 and no shaking.
same thing with my friends tires a couple days ago...
