    Anyone experience this? Just put a lift on my truck this past weekend, and experiencing it slightly. Will it settle over time?

    Pretty vague. Helps to know exactly what you lifted a.k.a. front and back, size, parts used etc. If you lifted the rear you may need to look into a carrier bearing drop if you’re having shudder or vibrations coming from the rear.

    Sorry about that. It's an ironman suspension 3/1 kit, well technically 2.5" kit. Front coilovers, rear shocks, and rear leaf spring pack. Here's the kit for reference. Talked to one of the guys at the shop I was working with and he said it might settle down, but wouldn't do anything about it for a 1,000 miles or so and shouldn't hurt anything. The shudder isn't super bad by any means, but I feel it.

    I lifted my rear 1.5” with shackles and noticed a small shudder from the rear around the 1-2 shift under low load (light acceleration, under 20mph). I added a 1/2” spacer to the carrier bearing and it got rid of it. Your mileage may vary. ;)

    Sounds like carrier bearing is most likely culprit. The slightest angle change at the pinion can mess with things
