rear end shift.....
I have a very slight rear end movement when accelerating and giving gas even at speed, almost feals like the rear end is loose, but everything is tight as can be, I did however lower the the truck, it never did this before, but like I said everything is tight and tripple checked, everything has clearance as well. The other problem that I have is a vibration at certain speed, but I know I need to put in some pinion shims to clear that up. Mainly I was woundering about the rear end fealing squirly. here is a pic for reference on hight

i would guess the axle angle compared to the drive shaft is not what it was, and when you get on the throttle the torque rolls the alxe housing somewhat. known as "wrapup". also the drive shaft splines onto the transmission might be in a different place since the truck was lowered. probably not a real problem as long as you say everything is tight, not moving.

yea im kinda thinking along the lines of what you said, but Ive never felt a rear shift before out of a lowered vehicle, could it be possibly my bushings in my leaf springs are jsut toast? I amost thought about 4 linking it and having full air spring rear, but to keep me from going over board I plan on keeping the good ol' leafs there and jsut adding some helper bags.
