Hey,

I have a shorty GQ the 4" coils.
Im getting quite abit of vibration from the rear shaft.
Now before i go get it checked to make sure its balanced i wanna know how others have setup theres? eg. what angles u running??
Im running a double cardon too.

Hey i had a shorty with 6 inch coils, and the DC shaft wasnt enough. I ended up getin adjustable upper control arms and made the bottom uni straight with the diff flange. That fixed it. U could also try gearbox spacers.

matey i got standard shaft in mine with 5 inch coils. using lengthend lower arms ( cheezy bomb proof 18mm longer than standard). im guessing the vibes ur getting will be from the slip joint/spline region. as u lift ur truck the shaft opens up/lengthensmeaning that the inner and outer tubes have less bearing on each other cuasing slop or a slight wobble. also amplified by wear in the slip joint.
