I have a 2" RTE lift but my back end is a little lower than the front which isn't bad but I have been thinking about putting 1 or 2inch spacers in the back end. Will this mess up my rear drive shaft angle and give me bad vibes. I guess it would be best to go with new rear arms but... $$$ or what about changing to the 3" spring lift in back. I guess that would be even cheaper? but I dont want to get vibed.

Anytime you can lift with springs, its ALWAYS a better proposition that spacers. No one can say if you will get vibrations or not. You'll have to try it out. And all trucks are different. I have almost a 4" lift and I have no vibrations front or rear. Some get vibrations at 2".

I remember you saying a while back, that you removed your front prop shaft to eliminate the vibration, and this was after lifting your truck 2". Now you state you have a 4" lift with no vibration problems, what did you do to eliminate the vibrations. I'm assuming the front prop shaft has been reinstalled.

I lifted my truck 5" and got a vibration problem. I was using D90 springs with spacers. I removed the front driveshaft for a totally unrelated reason. I was losing the bearings in the front of the transfer case. I then removed the 5" lift, went to RTE 3" HD springs which gives me just about 4" since I have no winch, sliders, roofrack, etc. I was then able to re-install the front driveshaft with no problems.
