    Did you take the jack shaft out or is this a single drive axle rig?

    Well guys, I believe I have figured out all the issues - vibration, rough ride, crazy drive tire wear.

    Ride height bobtail is currently 10 inches, so it's an inch and a quarter to high.

    Sorry guys, forgot to update this. Lowering it made a huge difference in the ride but the vibration still exists but not as bad.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    Ok, what about a clogged dpf? It's a 99 cat so would it throw codes?

    No DPF on a 2WS unless it was an aftermarket add-on. Only CAT that had a DPF from factory was the SDP
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.
