ramlovingvet,

This "vibration" wouldn't happen to be during braking at around 20mph would it?

I have a post under "shudder" and was considering u-joints as the problem since all else is good.

ramlovingvet, I got one a little bit after I put my lift on. The driveshaft and u-joints are straight as an arrow (better than they were from the factory). I've got the same vibration but mine is from 0-5 or 10. My roommate has the same lift and the same vibration. His has been there since he bought the truck over a year ago. All of my stuff is tight so I don't know what the deal is.

It could very well be the tires causing it.

Got the same thing when I added my 3" lift. I am looking at replacing the u-joints with CTM Racing u-joints in the next couple of months. Have read great reviews and heard nothing but good things about them.
