Hello,
Did any of you got vibrations from the front propeller drive shaft die to 2" lift kit ?
I have a Liberty Jeep 2003 3.7 lifted 2" , and from that point there started vibrations at 100 km / h and at 120 km / h it impossible to drive. When I remove the front drive shaft, the drive is smooth and without vibration, does anyone know or experience such a problem?
Thanks

The angle of the front drive shaft doesn't change with a lift. Just time for a rebuild of the shaft.

First of all, thanks for the quick response.
It's strange, I did a test and lowered the transfer bridge by 1 "(with spacers) and the vibration decreased by half and I wonder how it is possible that theoretically you're right but as a fact it affected?
Second, can the new shaft come out of balance?

Thanks
Chen

New shaft could be out of balance or not seated properly
You did not lift it that much, 2 inches is not very much at all
I ran over 4 inches for several years and thousands of miles
Dropping the transfer case causes more issues really

Hi,

I am embarrassed to say that I solved the problem with two aluminum bends at a dollar cost (after two years of replacing parts with hundreds of dollars and Israeli shekel in my case), I simply balanced the drive shaft with 2 aluminum bends and the problem was solved, I'll send it to balance in a professional place
Thank you very much for your willingness to help and guidance.
