Anyone With Trailmaster 4" Lift...Please Look!
 

Has anyone with the 4" Trailmaster lift experienced any driveline vibrations in the front end?

I have posted a string in the other drivetrain section under "drivetrain vibration ~ 97 Expedition" and have had a lot of feedback...but...I thought I would ask a few of you with similiar lifts!

Even though my application is on a Expedition...I do believe the F150 is the same front kit!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated https://www.f150online.com/f150board/smile.gif

Note: This vibration is not tire/wheel related...it started vibrating right after the lift before the meats were put on!

Eriko, I have the Trailmaster and have had no problems. Are you sure its not a tire/wheel problem or an alignment out of wack. The bigger tires are hard to get a good balance which I'm sure you know. The lift should not have changed any angles. I read the other thread about you lengthening your driveshafts, the company that installed the lift should have known that they did not need it, and i'm sure that set you back a little. I know a few other people with TM lifts and they also have had no problems. Let us know what the problem is when you figure it out.

eriko,
I have a Trailmaster also. I have had no problems either. Like Sqaunto said with that kit there is no need to lengthen drive lines.
Good Luck in finding the prob.
