Leveling question

Just found this site and hoping you guys can give me some feedback. I wanted to put some BF Goodrich All Terrian 29575R16's on my 2002 F250 SD. I ordered and installed a 2 inch leveling kit on the front and had the tires balanced and mounted. The 2 inch leveling kit had the front end up higher than the back. So I then swapped out the stock block in the rear and added a 4 inch block. Truck looks pretty level now. However I am getiing some verberations between 52and 60 mph. Had the alignment checked and everything is fine. Today I played around at 55mph and realized the problem is on the acceleration and not when I am just coasting. Would the lift have required I do something to the drive shaft?

This is my first lift and I am nervous I am doing some damage underneath.

You might need a carrier bearing shim since you added taller blocks to the rear.

Wow I didn't think a 2 inch lift would require a shim. Just talked to Tuff County tech support and they said shim the carrier bearing. Ordered the shim today. Thanks!
