Hi Guys,
New to the forum, but been lurking for a few weeks. I asked this question over on ADV with no response, so thought I'd ask here too.

Any thoughts on the vibes?
Cheers :

I've been posting my setup stuff over there too FWIW:BergDonk;21968291 said:It seems like a 25 mm lift with shorter dogbones is a popular option. I'm in the process of setting up a new Ohlins shock for my S10 and we made some internal chnages that, with the spring rate and preload used, results in a 22 mm lift.
After fitting, I slabbed 400 kms home, and apart from ride improvements, thought I noticed an increase in vibration. Not only hands and feet, but the Montana GPS decided to routinely reorient the screen which it didn't do before.
I've just refitted the stock shock, test ridden, and the extra vibes seem to have gone away, with the GPS happy again.
I'm attributing the vibes to the increase in operating angle of the universal joint at the back of the gearbox.

"The Cardan joint suffers from one major problem: even when the input drive shaft axle rotates at a constant speed, the output drive shaft axle rotates at a variable speed, thus causing vibration and wear."
Anyone out there notice an increase in vibes when you lifted your rear end?
Thanks
