Installed a diff drop kit and a 2" lift front 1" lift rear. Now after getting the front aligned I have a serious shaking in front under load when you let off no shaking. So bad you can't hardly pull away from a stop. Need help trying to figure out what it is. If I can't my only recourse is to remove all of the stuff I spent alot of time on installing.

Sounds like the dreaded "Death Wobble" that happens to lifted Jeeps a lot. I've never experienced it before, so I didn't have to fix it and have no idea how to do so. If you google the term, you'll probably find some helpful articles on the matter. From what I remember, there are a couple of culprits. You'll probably have to go back through the front end and replace some things and/or snug up some bolts. Good luck.

Ended up taking out the front lift. And poof no more shaking/shimmy. I left th diff drop kit in for now not hurting anything. But measured the truck and the new struts gave the front a 2" lift anyway?? Also leaving in the rear 1" lift with new coil over heavy duty shocks for towing. The truck looks fine as is. So I'm done with it for now. I do have a pair of 2" lift blocks for sale cheap.
