The vibrations after a lift come from the rear drive shaft being at too high an angle coming out of the transfer case. to solve the problem, I had to lower the trans mount/skid plate a half inch. My lift is just stock springs with a 2" econo lift. The econo lift consists of 4 add-a-leafs, 4 Heckthorne shocks, and a Heckthorne steering stabilizer. Got it from J.C. Whitney for $100.

You can buy lowering kits for the skid plate, however, since I, (like Al Bundy), am married with children, I used 6 half inch nuts in between the frame and skid plate. Hope this helps. :-D [addsig]

	Transfer Case Mounted behind and driven by the vehicle transmission, the transfer case transmits power to the front and rear driveshafts in 4WD Jeep vehicles and offers high and low range.

did you not use shims to rotate your rear axle up slightly, and also u kept the same driveshaft w/ no modifications to it?[addsig]

I have new vibration but it is not drive line related. It is motor mount I think cause it is there in nutral at an idle? Go figure tug[addsig]

No need for the axle shims, since they were stock springs. All the econo lift did for me was give my Jeep a better stance. Since it's a CJ5, I really don't wanna go any higher. And, yes, I kept the same driveshaft. As stated before, all I had to do was lower the skid plate a little, cause it was the front U-joint on the rear driveshaft that had too much angle on it. Here is a picture of it lifted, and don't mind the outboard motor, I put it there as a joke for all the rain we've been getting.
