Was it a body lift or suspension lift?

I don't think the lift has anything to do with a rough idle. I think it may be just a coincidence. Pull the valve cover harness plugs one at a time while the engine is running, and see if it does or does not change the idle.

He said it's vibrating his truck like if it were the engine missing but it's not the engine. so the title should say "vibrating after lift"
