My RTE 3inch lift has caused random vibes in my drivelines. It only happens when decelerating from 35 to 20! I dont have offset trailing links or radius arms! Would installing those help or do I really need new driveshafts? Also ....Will driving the truck with the vibes hurt anything?

Look at your rear links first. Take them off and you have room(enough threads) to install 3 ea 3/4" flat washers on the threaded end of each link against the shoulder and re-install. See if that helps the vib problem, in which case you will get a clue maybe as to the source if in the rear. Make sure you are engaging the nylon locking area on the nuts. This is a temporary way to see if its in the rear and lenghting the rear links is the direction to head to.
