    I was wondering how many tundra owners experience vibration in their drive shafts, and if its something i should consider in the future. I'm putting a 2 1/2" lift on mine so is that a big enough difference in the angle to cause an issue?

    I experienced a slight vibration when I did my 3/1 lift. Mine vibrated when accelerating from a complete stop. Nothing a little @Coachbuilder1 carrier bearing drop kit couldn’t fix.

    I did +2 shackles in the back and installed some carrier bearing shims along with it. Noticed I had a slight vibration under heavy acceleration. I left it alone. Then when I hauled a trailer and some gear in the back of my truck, I noticed the vibration was pretty bad under heavy acceleration off the line. Took the shims back out, no more vibration. So I guess everyone’s truck is different, you may have to play around with it.
