i get a pretty good amount of lift and the only problem i have is a little vibration when i'm totally locked up in the rear. this pic is about as high as i can ride without vibration

and if you have your pionion angle jacked it, it will pull it out more than it should as well.

how much lift are you getting that is causing it to pull out? your 4-link must be kinda funky or something. how is your pinion angle throughout the range of motion? and are your bars 100% parallel at ride height? and yeah if you're getting like 15+ inches of lift or something, that's crazy.. throw some shocks on it and limit it. you're probably putting way to much stress on stuff if you're doing that with a lever anyways.

High lift is all about setup. This is one of CPT's many old setup. It had a trick long travel 2 link setup with a stock driveshaft. Threw a mean side. As long as all your angles are correct you can go pretty damn high. But flip side. It's gay as hell. You only need enough lift to get yourself out of driveways.
