shakes in the rearend

Ok when i take of from a stop the back of my truck shakes. I was told to lower my carrierbaring do to the angle of the drive line due to the 6 inch lift an 37inch tires.. Is there anything else i can due besides rotating my axel or traction bars

you need shims yo!

just dont stop anymore.... oh wait.... I take that back.... please do stop if you're ever behind me.... my little car is only 42.5" tall.... and you have 37" tires? um... ya please do stop. lol

If you really want to fix it it's going to cost money.... you need constant velocity joints in you're drivline. Shims will help only so much before you run into lubrication issues with the diff.... if you have a carrier bearing try lowering it too... but in the end... go with CV's... end of story.

Your sure its not a tire shake from your tread pattern right?

he has 2 constant velcity joints on his drive line. also a 2 piece which intales a carrier bearing. what i look at is the over all angle of both drive lines. if he drops the carrier bearing mount down about 1" it will put both drivelines inline with each other. eliminating the shakes

So it sounds like shimming up the carrier bearing mount will do the trick?

I guess it depends on what you consider to be shims.

There are differential shims.... for changing pinion angle

And you can shim the carrier bearing too to change driveline angle.

You know there are mathamatical calculations for figuring out proper angles for this stuff right?
