So I have about 5-5 1/2" of total lift and I have some symptoms that I am associating with either a bad or going VC, or the need for a DC front drive-shaft. Please let me know your thoughts:
Replacing the springs with 3" heavy, and removing the front spacer are an option, but there is a cost, and it may not solve the problem. Do these symptoms sound consistent with driveshaft binding? I have read time and time again that at about 5" they are needed.
Where is a good supplier that's reasonable in cost? I'm sick of sinking my money
- When I am accelerating, usually up to 20 MPH and before I feel a drive-line vibration, it seems to die down above this speed
- When I take the foot off the accelerator and am "coasting", and not on the brake, I can hear a grinding noise. It sounds like rocks in a can being shaken. I am likening it to my U-joints not under any load from brakes or engine, and hyper-flexing and having interference somewhere.
