What have you done for driveline angles? I am getting a slight vibration slowing down and taking off, I have 8" suspension lift with 35's. 465/205 and dana60 rear. What have you done?

Is it only in 4wd or does it do it in 2wd too. It sounds like its time to upgrade to some new highangle drive shafts. you could also move the front axle forward some and the rear axle back.

no front driveline yet.......Its sitting in the garage, but I figure if I dont have one in I wont be tempted. I do have a zerorate in the back and moved the rear axle back already. I have been looking for a bronco driveline to use, but just wondering what everyone else has done. I know the bronco one is only 1/2 ton, But I dont care it just sees the street and I never get on it, so it is pretty much babied all the time

Is that a rotor for a park brake? If it is, how'd you make it?

Yes it is but it was purchased.

It's from Jesse @ High Angle Drive line.

Cool, nice mod. How'd I miss that? Is it mounted behind the pinion nut? You keep changing that and it's not going to look like a first gen.

I don't see any cables going to it, how does it work?
