OME 912 lift

[Scott Harness]

Has anyone had problems with the OME 912 lift? I lifted my vx with the 912 lift. When I'm at highway speeds and lift off throttle a vibration occurs. The instant you add throttle the vibration stops. I made sure the springs were seated properly,it helped a little,but the vibration was still there. I put the stock springs back on. No vibration! My question is "Can you get a bad set of springs?" It seemed they had bad resonance! Thanks for any help. Scott

I get the same vibration too, I figured it could be the angle of the front drive shaft? It kinda hops on the highway when foot is off the gas. When $ allows I want to get a CV drive shaft, hopefully that will fix the vibration.

Scott,
Did you get your front end aligned after you put the OME 912s on?
Peace.

Thanks AlaskaVX, Hi Tom Yes I did the front-end aliighnment. The vibration was definately coming from the rear. I had someone drive me around while I laid in the back and listened.

I picked up some 912s from Crager34, who had them for some time and never installed them. Now, I'm considering using these things as a door stop as well.

When the vibration starts, does it only occur at the moment the rear suspension is unloaded (weight transfer)? Or does it continue to do vibrate until the rear suspension is loaded again?

Well it doesn't do it while on the brakes so wouldn't the rear be unloaded then? It only tends to happen while coasting. I have had my front drive shaft boot tear before that is whe lead me to believe that the angle is what was causing the vibration.

If your considering selling them, I'd like first crack.
