Default weird vibration... not good
so at about 8-15 mph a vibration starts. i know its not tire balance. i know its not because of the bfg's. its only under acceleration and brakeing, any ideas? maybe drive angles, low diff fluid, shaft balance. idk what to start with

Maybe you should Check the gears in your rear end. A friend of mine had a similar problem but his kept getting faster. It was his rear gears.
