So I got Tonys 6" springs the DJM relocation kit and now I have some vibrations. I got some adjustable lower trailing arms to play with the rear end angles. I shimmed the trans up about 3/4" and that seemed to help the most. No matter how I setup the rear end I seem to always have at least a slight vibration while accelerating around 60-70. While coasting or under deceleration its fine. I made the trans angle and the reared angle almost the same didn't fix it, I gave the reared -3 degrees pinion angle to the driveshaft didn't fix it. No matter how I set it up theres always a slight vibration. Anyone have any experience with this? Or ever cure this problem? Oh its on a 2014 escalade awd truck looks sick slammed just want to fix this vibration.

Thanks

Jay

rear spohn bar kit. Make the pinion angle to -2 degrees so when you get on it will be at 0 about.

Will the air ride still work?
Will the air bags that we put in the springs still work with the new springs?

I set the pinion angle to the same angle as the transfer case and the vibrations almost completely gone. Since I can't use adjustable upper arms because of the auto ride I'm going to relocate the mounting holes on the rear end for the upper arm so I can extend my lower bars more to center the wheel. Hopefully this works. My 2010 yukon had the exact same drop and no vibration at all but it was a 2wd I guess my escalade being awd is throwing the angles off.
