I just put on a bb. Its seems like I have a very small vibe as I'm letting the clutch out in first gear for just a second & then it stops. Is this the vibe I read about or is it something different or at another speed. Thanks for any help.

Hmmm.... in first gear????
Never really in first gear long enough for a vibe to start let alone feel. Check over your U-joints and bolts are secure as well if you had to remove any lately.

That vibe is indeed caused by a steepened rear driveshaft angle caused by the new suspension lift. You can cure the vibe by dropping the transfer case skidplate by a half-inch or so via longer skidplate mounting bolts & washers stacked up around each of the 6 bolts and inserted between the frame and skidplate. :)

If you are interested, I have the 6 grade 8 bolts with the bunches of grade 8 washers needed to lower the transfer case an inch. I paid $50 for this stuff and then the OME kit I purchased to lift my TJ came with the lowering kit. My King Bolt store won't take the bolts and washers back for unknown crappy reasons. I will give you a good deal.

Its an 06. Thanks for the offer on the transfer case lowering parts. I have bolts & washers in my shop that will fit I think. Do you think it will ruin anything if I leave it this way for a while? After letting the clutch out in first it doesn't do it anymore. I really don't want to lower the skid & loose ground clearance. Maybe a mml later.
