Re: vibration

has anyone with this problem tried finding a known good set of rims/tires from another vehicle that will fit our trucks (even if the offset is different as long as they clear the caliper/rotors it shouldn't matter) and driven your truck to see if the vibration goes away??? :2cents:

Re: vibration

my next thing is since its winter, the rear end is out and getting switched to ls-1 , deleting rear air ride and going with bilsteins , abs delete (hopefully kits on its way), c-5 fronts if i can come up with some adapter brackets. but for the vibration i'm going to replace both front 1/2 shafts and replace front diff bushings , maybe a gear box and lower steering shaft, i cant see anything else that would cause it......
