-Spike- said:Your driveline angles are changing as you get on and off the gas. A little extrapolation will tell you which direction your angles need to change, based on what's happening when you accelerate and decelerate.
I wonder why you would make more changes (adding height to the front) before you remove the rear shaft and check that scenario out? When troubleshooting, it's always best to make as few changes at a time as possible, fully exploring the ramifications of each modification before adding more factors to the situation.

Makes all kinds of sense Spike. Because I can't do my own I'm kind of at the mercy of others (like the gears being installed 2-hours away

I just picked the truck up. I like the added inch look. He did grease my rear shaft. It took a good amount of grease he said.
Vibration-wise, doing this smoothed the truck out a lot at 50+ MPH. It actually is a doable trip-mobile BUT there is vibration left and it's still bad at 40-50MPH.
OK, my mechanic (and me) doesn't have time to play with drive shafts today, so, I thought I'd post my driveline angles for you-all to review. Our next plan is to play with shafts though somebody might point out an issue with the rear pumpkin angle. In fact, from what I'm learning here it does look like that pumpkin front needs to point more downward. It looks like it's angling upward? What do you all see? THANKS!
