Do you have this vibration? How much is it? Are you sure Rize makes it or do they just distribute it?

Do you have any vibes? But, yes Im still going to Black Sky. It will only be a couple more weeks, about middle of September!

yeah i get it.....i mean its not real bad but noticeable.....my passenger seat back bounces back and forth about 1/2 a inch in either direction (front to back)
you can feel it...
and the directions says "you can do the appropriate modifcation to the driveshaft or use Rize replacement shaft" so im guessing its theirs.
the modifcation mentioned is installing a CV joint on the transfer case side of the shaft. but its not required at all.
like i said its not a bad vibration but you knwo its their.

It could be that you have a tire with bad road force or out of balance.
Are those rims hub centric? Meaning do they fit EXACTLY to the bolt pattern with no movement what so ever? If not, then that's most likely your problem.
In that case buy hub centric rings from Mazzi from your style truck and rim combination. They're about $25.
Then have the rims and tires HUB CENTRIC BALANCED with a Haweka style balancing adapter.
That will be the closest balance you'll ever have a chance of getting and should take away the vibe your describing. I know because I had the same symtoms and that was my fix for the new rims and tires (though no lift).
It'd be better to go down this route first then have to buy a new drive shaft. I read Rize's website and it talks about that drive shaft solution being mainly for trucks with extremely high torque (like a superduty truck).

yeah thump.....rize makes a replacement driveshaft for our trucks. cause theres a vibartion around 70+ and a vibration in 4WD 40+
and it will last longer in better condition.

How so ? My truck got 15mpg stock? Glad you finally got your lift kit. I wish I knew someone in the houston area who wanted a Fabtech. I'm trading my truck in. I would of basically given the kit away. 500 bucks.

. At least you picked the right truck, the only truck- FORD! I love messing with Techies! Its very easy to get in their head and they can't take a little friendly fire. Good luck this year! Hope Quentin doesn't hurt Reggie!
