    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?

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

    I sold the springs because I wasn't interested in wheelin' any more and didn't want to sacrafice anything on the lift. I didn't know of any issues with lifting the VX, other than what has been mentioned on this site. I do think the VX looks incredible when lifted.

    Just did the OME912 lift, and around 65 mph when lifting off the throttle I get a pretty good vibration accompanied my noise, and yes, once below 60mph, it goes away. But a round 40 - 60, there is a small roughness, although noting like at 65. Its hard to imagine the lift doing this and it being the rear driveshaft angle, as it doesnt look that drastic. I re-lubed the U-joints and the axle itself..........did nothing to the noise and vibration. its definitely a result of the lift cause it wasnt there before.
    I can live with it, but if its doing damage to the trans, diff, etc.....it might be a bigger problem!
