Getting the Wheeling Fever

Well I put the OME 901 coils in my 95 runner which makes a difference to say the least. Now I have a problem... I am getting a vibration/noise at about 60 to 70 mph but only when I let off gas does it become really prevelent. no problem around town or on the trail(yet). I dropped the rear of the drive shaft, no play in pinion cept for 1/8 to 1/4 in rotation. no lateral play. I lubed up the ujoints and changed diff oil( no major shavings) still get the noise.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Anybody experience this after a lift on a 2nd gen runner?? Thanks in advance Tom G Placerville

How much lift? Read THIS a few times, see where you fit.

It,s supposed be 1.5 of lift but seems more like 2.0.
rear is almost an inch higher than front now.
I read the article on drive shafts thanks. Still not sure if I should swap ujoints..or what? haven't heard from any others who have added these springs on any vibration noise.

Same here on my '91. I installed the OME coils and i now get a vibration the same place you do.
I did replace the u-joints and gave everything a good lube job. Still vibrating.

could be you need to rotate the axle up to compensate for the additional lift.
maybe getting some adjustable control arms to adjust the tilt will do...

Thanks in advance Tom G Placerville Maybe the rear propeller shaft?s joint is the guilty. It?s stiff you said, but maybe it?s too stiff when angle is more than before. You can try it when you?ve remove 4 bolts at the end. Change the joint if it feel different when moving it.
