Floor board vibration

My truck has a slight vibration that I can only feel in the floor board through out the RPMs. I can only feel it when taking off and giving it a little bit of gas while cruising. Im lowered but its not from that because it did it before it was lowered too. The best way to describe this is when my foot is flat on the floor it just ''buzzes" a little bit. Could this be my exhaust causing this? I had a Dynomax muffler and then got a Silver Bullett but it still does it. Should I be concerned or not let it bother me?

Mine does it too, but it's not bad... It's since I lowered it though.

Well mine is only present while on the gas, as soon as I let off of it, its as smooth as silk.

was it worse after you dropped it? could be that pinion angle was off before being dropped?

buzzing is most likely the exhaust system....and I
would keep troubleshooting until I found the cause.

1. Make sure the exhaust tips are not contacting the truck and that your exhaust system is tight.
2. Make sure the u-bolt that hold your axle to the leaf springs are tight.
3. Check your driveshaft u-joints for wear.

good luck
