Okay, so about 2 months ago I suffered the loss of my rear axle. The G80 locker in my 97 suburban failed while I was going about 60KPH and the entire rear end locked up, ujoints broke off the yoke and driveshaft hit the ground. I changed both ujoints, put in a new rear end, and while it was apart I put in 2" lift blocks. I havent cranked the torsion keys to match the new height of the rear yet because I was waiting to sort out this vibration before I ruin my alignment. Now the entire truck shakes like a ****, up until 60kph(35mph) its not bad, 70(45) is bad, 80(50) is loud, 90(55) isnt that bad, 100kph(60) has a horrible whopping noise, and everything past that is horrifying. The vibration has just sort of gone away once or twice, and the truck runs amazingly smooth all the way up to 110, but then I go over a bad bump and its back to ****. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this before I go out and pay a guy a buncha money to balance my driveshaft or something
Its a 1997 Suburban with 4x4. Its a 56" long steel driveshaft, that doesn't look to have any bad dings, nor does it have a lot of rust
