    Yesterday I went down and talked with the mechanic. We decided to lower the bags a little and see what happens. He went over everything else, every yoke, bearing, and shaft was checked. So after dropping the bags a ½", I took it for a drive, and the shaking is either gone or reduced enough to not be noticeable bobtail.

    I'll know more after we put a trailer on it, cause an empty trailer was always the worst.

    On the vibrations- someone has probably mentioned it but check to make sure the drive/intermediate shafts are not out of phase.

    Do you use the same tire gauge every time? Check if it's true...had a guy that was using 2 that had a 10 lbs difference.
    But you got a vibration not a hop.?

    I could eat my weight in gold with those. Let me know when you have enough, and I'll send you my address, phone number, social security number, and fedex my truck title to you.
