anyone found a fix for the 4hi shudder yet. i got an 06 trx4 1500 with the bilstien 5100 and i did the alignment and i still get a wicked shudder in 4hi in 6 plus inches of snow even under light acceleration.

KORE High Angle Inner Cv Joints are the main way to fix it. Only downside is that they're 800 a set. But you'll never have to worry about cv's again! I just bought some and they look like they could withstand a nuclear bomb.

After quite a few shafts wore out I finally bit the bullet and Bought Factory replacements at the dealer. They are 256 a shaft but are worth every penny, no core charge and you can order the end nut and inner clips too. Will be two years and still no problems, smooth on the highway and still able to withstand the odd 4HI hard-launch and high rpm run. My point here being stay away from reman on these trucks especially the Cardone as even the pots are not from dodge with the key slots but some round homemade hardyspicer and when I say shafts I also mean inner Diff axle shafts which only 1 of my 4 are still original.

Never heard of the ones Will is talking about but I guess they would be good for helping with extra angles put on by lifting. Danny
