What did you do now John! 
I have one you could borrow, but not buy. It has 185K on it, so I wouldn't use it for troubleshooting purposes. I'd be reluctant to let it be put on a vehicle with vibration issues for a long period of time. 'What did you do now John!'

Slee is sending me front arms. Front arms just cured the same trouble on a 4" kit (where I was once at).
I'm going slap them on first (after I remove caster plates)
If no go, then I'll remove my spacers and swap D-shafts. That should be a go. If not....punt!
You coming to Sedona?
I've got a re-tubed rear that I'll be getting rid of...but no front.
If you're referring to the 15th, then no. My house is kinda sorta on the way though. Again, I wouldn't put much faith in the shaft I have, you'd be better off taking the good one off your other rig to test with, then find one to buy if that takes care of it. Mine is good for a spare, but I wouldn't use it as a primary without changing the u-joints.

I'm hoping the arms solve it as is. I luv the height it's at.

#1; Never toss parts until the job is done. #2; Never toss good cruiser parts that others could use. Now your paying for breaking cruiser rules!:whoops: I don't have a spare, so this post is worthless.
Hey John,
I've got a stock shaft available, but I'm up here in Flagstaff. I'd like to run the Sedona trip on the 15th, but I'll probably be dragged down to Phoenix the night before by my wife to spend time with family there. Let me know if you're interested.

Come on John - FedEx it - send a call tag to Hondo

If you guys miss each other you can drop the shaft with me and I'll get it down to him.

The arms with ~6" of lift are designed for a CV shaft, so a stocker won't work anyway?

If the arms don't eliminate it at 5.5" Slee says 6" won't make a diff.
I'll then remove my spacers and stick to 4" and use a OEM shaft. This just worked for DesertDude.
I'm guessing the arms will help with my current setup. Hope. I like the height.

I hope you don't spend a bunch of $$$ just to find out it's something unrelated to the parts your buying.- Thread starter

Actually...through all this I've discovered MANY people who have had similar issues. I was surprised.
My guess? Those 4" Slee caster plates! If I'd a put on J's and CC bushings and checked/replaced U-joints I bet I'd a been done.
When done though I will be happy because my ride will be super due to the pan's, caster corr and such.
