Default Tom Woods drive shafts feel....different

Don't really know how to describe it, more positive maybe. Seem to vibrate a tad more than the original, acceleration and decel more abrupt> this has to be due to removing the stock rear transfer case yoke....that thing was a mini flywheel in itself.

I'm just thinking some newness "stiction" on the slip yokes, and the different torque transferance of the double cardan, as opposed to the "ball type" CV's.

Nothing loose, nothing interfering with anything else. Anyone else noticed anything like this, or am I being over critical?

Oh yeah, 2.5" TF Budget lift tooo.

No adjustability at all, presently. But I can order the upper adjustable, or lower arms, whichever you suggest to reduce the current pinion angle.

The rear uppers will allow you to point the pinion up at the tcase.

I'll just park it, till I installl them, hopefully this weekend with 3 day select shipping. Only put about 1 mile on it, so I don't suspect any damage was done, and the vibration light with no noise.
