I just put a 4-5" kit in the troll UTE and im getiing slight vibes from the rear end. Just wonder which way to set the upper arms to fix the problem?

Ive heard different reports, lengthen the uppers to straighten the tail shaft to diff uni, or shorten the uppers to level out the coil plates on the diff and keeping the unis on the same angle as each other forming a cancelation effect?

Ive ran a search with no sucsess and looked an many pics but cant make out the pinion angles your running.

Any info would be great!

Cheers

Steve

Try for a happy medium with coil hats straight as u can get them and a good pinion angle at diff end and turn tail shaft around,if still no good space gearbox down a little.some trucks have no dramas others can give headaches.

Check you pinion angle compared to the transfer case output flange, and if you haven't since lifting it put new uni's in if they are older than a couple of years.
