Thanks for the suspension advise, Rob. Anyway, I'm wondering if I should switch to a u-joint on the rear drive shaft? What do you peoples think, eh? It's got 25k on it at the moment and everythings in good shape (and under waranty).

I've got just a 2" lift. All was well for about 10K; then my rotoflex started to vibrate. I would contact John @ Rovertym and see what he recommends.
