Heavy Vibration While Brakin
hey guys, got a Lil prob with my truck 2006 dakota V8, 4x4 Quad Cab (93,000 miles and counting 
)
did the complete suspension about a moth ago, front and back. also did the 2" over the coil spacer leveling kit upfront.got it aligned and the truck felt brand new again. will post some pics soon.
but about 3 days ago we did the 1.5" block to the rear and the truck picked up a heavy vibration while braking, especially goin down hill.
any one ever experience that,
any help would be appreciated.......

I have had front brake pulsation/vibration since my 2005 dakota rolled fresh off the lot.... I haven't been able to fix it.... it comes from the front brakes and develops with in 50 - 100 miles of having new front brakes and rotors installed.
The pulsation will last the life of the brake and rotors....
I haven't done much research on this but, there are high-quality rotors you can buy, they have holes bored into them that are designed to reduce heat that causes warpage.... maybe someone else can expound on these?

They shouldnt Vibrate if they are new, or something is wrong.
I had bad front Pads, Rotors and Calipers and had 0 Vibration, Just squeaking.
Got them replaced and it was fine.
Mine has a vibration that gets worse the harder I brake, Which is due to my rear shoes being odd-shaped and needing replacing.
2 questions. did you take the back wheels off? and did you use a torque wrench to put them back on?
did you take the front wheels off? and if so did you use a torque wrench to put them back on?
if yes to both check your tire pressure???
if you do decide to buy new rotors... (brakeperformance.com)

HOLD OUT THE RELEASE HANDLE.
and slowly apply the parking brake. NO NOT SLAM IT ON!
that will check if the rear was causing the vibration.
Im not responsible if you dont hold out the handle and **** your **** up. lol
