I'm looking for some help on my 2008 1500 4x4 5.7L. Recently I put a 6 inch lift and 35's on it. Now at hard acceleration something is shaking, it does it the worst when turning left at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. It does it at full throttle from a dead stop going straight. The only suspension part I haven't changed is the sway bar link bottom bushings. All other suspension is brand new. Also just replaced the motor mounts and transmission mounts. Can anyone give me a little advice as to what could be causing this. The suspension shop can't seem to figure it out and I'm getting tired of buying parts.
Thanks in advance

Since you say it does it when turning left I would check the sway bar bushings and CV axle. Just a hunch. And make sure everything else is tightened to specs.

If all your u-joints and/or CV joints are good, maybe something is slipping or acting up with your LSD if you have one?

Thanks, to be honest I'm not sure if it has LSD or not, but I will look into that.

I checked with a friend and he said since you put such a high lift on it, it might be your sway bars aren't big enough to handle it.
