Vibration shuttter lifted
I have a 2006 f350 lifted 10.5 and the shop that lifted the truck has tried every possible shim position to get the carrier bearing angle right. And with know luck whatsoever. What is the best solution. It also vibrates going down the road too a little. I was wanting to know anybody else have that problem. And what shim is the best shim or whatever. thanks for all input.....

Yes the shop that done my lift is a pretty good 4x4 store do alot of work and good work this is my second truck like this the last one only had 8 inch lift though. And I have talked to on drive shaft sho and the manager did not sound to promising.. He could not warranty or promise it would get rid of all the vibration . Both diveshaft shops told me they would not go over 70 inches

The 2 piece driveshaft won't cut it at that lift height, no matter how many shims you try. Might want to check out these guys:

You'll need both front and rear driveshafts.
Most trucks lifted up to 6 inches can use the original driveshaft and shim to cure shudder. Go to an 8 inch lift and the chances you can keep your original driveshaft diminish quite a bit. There are some who are successful, and many that aren't. I haven't seen a truck over 8 inches that kept the original driveshaft. There may be one out there, but I yet to see it.

Ford dealership up here did a high lift on a 350 CC here and had to change the angle of the diff, carrier bearing and the transfer case. I can't remember if they shimmed the mounts for the transfer case or changed them.
