Doesn't sound right
and you should have been able to drive your truck untill they sourced all the parts

well your right, i didnt help, heres my conclusion, i put that leveling kit on, 1.5 inches, and did even touch the rear, so i was thinkin that the pinion angle might have been affected, makin the intermediate and small vibration comin from the axle, iam buyin 1 in blocks and goin from there

that doesn't change anything

the level kit you installed so far wouldn't change your front pinion angle just your drive line angle
adding the rear block will change your rear pinion angle a tad if taped block is used and will change your drive line angle a bit

but will not correct whatever your issue is now.

I have seen new trucks have carrier bearing /driveline issues

correct if they are tapered it will change the pinion angle
but you haven't done anything to affect pinion angle from stock so far

From reading his posts, it doesnt sound like rear pinion should have been affected. From my experience adding a tapered block in the rear on such a small lift is not going to help driveline vibration. Every truck is different but thats just my thoughts. I hate to see people spend money they dont have to.

You need to get your alignment checked and make sure your caster is not out of spec, which most likely it is and that is what is causing the issue.
