I figured out that my problem is axle wrap. I bought new shocks with coil springs around them for the rear hoping they would fix this. My truck is not lifted. Why would this happen on A stock setup? I'm on 32 inch tires. My old shocks were shot so I was almost sure that this was the problem. I just can't justify putting ladder bars on a stock truck. Maybe my leafs are shot too. Any uprgraded leafs I could buy? Any tips. I'm going out this weekend to play and I would like to enjoy my truck instead of watching. I only get it when I floor it in first gear.

I made a new thread hoping to catch more attention. Thanks for any help. If anyone knows of any weld on kits for ladder bars that would be nice too. Thanks guys

There was this one thing that caught my eye, and that was a "bambar" (Google it by name). I'm not sure if you can fit one or not. I know that there are full floating traction bars, and I would think those to be good because some trac bars bind, and that is crappy.

do you have this in every gear or just off the line? how many miles do you have on the truck? what kind of truck is it? does it have a 2 piece driveline? if so, how are the u-joints and center support bearing? was it replaced lately? if so, it could have been installed 180* out causing the vibration. how are the bushings on the leaf springs?
