7in lift help..please!!!

I just put a 7in lift on my truck and only when i start to accelerate from a dead stop the rear end shutters a lil bit and then everything runs fine. At first I thought it was maybe axel wrap cause im only running a 3in block with add a leaf in the rear, but then i though it might be my drive shaft u joint is having a problem linking up right because i didnt drop the transfer case or put in an extension. if someone has had this problem or tell me what it is it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, with the correct amount of shims you will restore your driveline angles and the vibes will stop. Do you have any pics of your truck after the lift?

I believe the rule of thumb is 1/4" of shim for every inch of lift.

He's the one that bought my 7" Stuff. He has some pics, looks good!! I would post them but dont want to post without asking him first.
