Violent Shaking Under Launch (VIDEO)

OK so the truck shakes super bad under launch 4wd,
Have tierod sleeves and DHD front brace. I am suspecting the shocks need replaced but wanted to see in anyone else has experienced this problem you can see/hear it in the attached video. Rear suspension is overload removed, cal tracs and spring clamps (rear of axle)

When mine did that it was a combo of shit shocks and the front end was not up to par and the tires were fighting each other, I was leveled but maybe something to look at if you have work pitman and idler arms or a lot of front end raise with bad shocks.

Thats whats leading me to beleive its shocks it is below level when I launch I think the front is rising too much I dont have any good side views of a launch so I am just guessing

Check your ball joints too. My uppers were toast and I did a launch like you're describing.

Are you getting a bad shutter on the top end? kind of hard to tell in the video!

Check you steering shaft bolt, the one where they slide together under the hood. Had the same issue on the race truck, bolt was loose.

 

[jnieberlein]

Yes it gets worse on the top end, will check that bolt, thank you

[jnieberlein]

I replaced all ball joints and new shocks are on the way I have a race(s) this friday night will report back (steering shaft bolt was tight)

 

[jnieberlein]

.......way way better it is managable honestly I was so jacked up at both races I dont know if it still vibrating at all but if it is it is far far less and manageable
