leveling kit question

[torq]

i have the 4wd sport so it has auto 4wd. when I put the leveling 3" it seems to bind up my front axles and I get a vibration on accel. it doesn't do it in 2wd only in 4wd and auto, I usually leave it in auto but don't want to screw anything up with this wobbly vibration in my front end

Some guys have spoke about having this issue in 4wd only.
Comes with leveling it

will I damage anything?

 

[h2oman]

It's a pretty common tale. No one has shown any damage. Just very disappointing to those who have it. Usually it goes away at 15 to 25 mph.

Yes it will. Your CV axles are no suppose to bind up. You need to correct the angles of those things.

only way I know how to correct it is to lower the front diff...right?

I have this with my Bilstein 5100's set at 2.8". Some say it's because of the angle of the CV axle, but mine is not really that far off, I was looking hard this past weekend thinking about winter down the road. I seem to have one of the worst cases, mine does it anytime I'm in 4WD and accelerate.

or get a smaller leveling kit. a 3" leveling kit is too high.

3" is definitely on the high side, but not really much more than the 2.8" setting of 5100's. I've been contemplating the lower of the front diff, but I just don't see that my CV angles are that far out that this should be happening.

i believe 2.5" is the max you can lift the nose on these things (without any other mods) where you wont have any issues. i guess that .3" makes a difference.

 

[Cruizer]

I've heard from quite a few running 2.8" that do not have this problem. It's really hit and miss it seems.

I believe zone sells a kit to lower the front diff, that should cure the problem if your set on rumning more then 2"

I can't find squat for lowering the front diff. Anyone have any sources/links?
