Just installed ProComp MX6 Rear Shocks!!

Dimkatitan · 12-03-2008, 09:13 PM

Ok, I have a 4" spindle lift, and wanted to go a lil bit higher by adding two more inches.. I just got my shocks and rear blocks today, so i decided to not waste any time!! They are the Pro Comp MX6 Adjustable Monotube...Still waiting on my front spacers, but I just couldnt let thos shocks just sit in the garage...

.. But i have one concern, when i i start driving, i feel a vibration.. then it goes away, Anyone know what this could be? Let me know what u think too.

is the vibration in your drive line ? where is it comming from? i have an 08 as well and have had plenty of vibration problems in the past. maybe i can help.

yeah it feels like its in my rear.. I do hav toyo m/t's on, but befor it wouldnt vibrate as bad.. Nowwhe im kus taking off the rear vibrates.. Could i be my drive shaft? Do i need any kind of spacer for it since i droped the rear axel that much lower? After i go over about 10mph i dont feel anyuthing and rides normal..

You probably need a CBDB if you don't have one on already...I'm assuming you're 2WD...

Oh ok.. Wheres a good place to get that for a decent price? Any welding involved to put it in?

question? it looks like you have a short bed do you have one or two drive shafts, does your truck have a carrier bearing or does it go straight in your tranny

bodytech · 12-04-2008, 12:14 PM

Check out the suspension section of the forum, you'll find all your answers there.

Here is a link the CST one on PRG's site.

If you don't make sure those u-bolts are nice and tight you may get a vibration and make sure to check them every now and then. Mine loosened or settled after I installed them causing a vibration I tightened them up and now I'm good to go.

Yes mine is a short bed.. The drive shaft is two peices.. Im not sure wht or where the carrier bearing is , so im not sure.. Thanks, Your truck looks pretty bad a$$ too!! You coming out to the off road meet?

Dimkatitan · 12-04-2008, 09:39 PM

Added a few more pics on top.. If i ws to leav it like this, would it look weird? Or should i lift the front two more inches?

**bills1974** · 12-05-2008, 04:53 AM

How big are the new blocks? They look to be 4-5"...

Not only do you need a carrier bearing drop, but you're probably getting pretty bad axle wrap as well...

the carrier bearing is where the shafts meet, sometimes with lifted trucks it puts a little to much of an angle right there and you have to lower that support to take the bind out of it. like bills 1974 said you can get a bracket for it at PRG. I actually cut the frame right there fabricated a new drop then made it ajustable using shims so i can move it up or down or side to side for some fine tuning. and like bill said i would also look at axle wrap and check the u bolts. your not pushing all that much power yet and your tires are still a good sizes so i don't think it could be axle wrap, and if tightened all the u bolts correctly that should also not be a problem, but all is worth looking into.
