3” Tuff Country with 36” TSL’s?

Who makes a good/affordable QD swaybar kit?

Also, do you have a link or care to explain exactly what to do/what my angles should be like? How is it fixed if thats the problem. The blocks did have a taper to them and theyre installed correctly with the small side forward. I was really hoping with only a 3” that I would avoid some of these issues...
 
I think the only disconnect kit is from offroad design.

So an easy way to identify the rear vibes are to lower the tcase crossmember an inch. I bet it goes away. You are making the angles on each ujoint smaller which is going to lessen the vibes.

In a perfect world ujoints in a standard two joint shaft would be equal and opposite and within a couple of degrees of each other. Lifting a short wheelbase rig doesnt lend itself to this.
For a FIX, you install a CV driveshaft. You remove your diagnostic spacers from the crossmember and return it to the OEM position. Then you point the rear pinion at the tcase output and bring the pinion down a degree or so. Under load the pinion raises with axle wrap. It will be at 0 basically when driving. Finalize your shim configuration and tighten it all down.
Now since you have a CV shaft it will mitigate most, if not all vibes.

I wouldn't worry about the sway bar, most of us don't run them any more. Trucks are stiff enough that it doesn't matter. Looks great with the new rubber! I think you will rub some when you flex it or turn while flexing. Have someone watch while you flex it out in different directions. Better to cut now before you dent it or cut a new tire.
