Unhappy 4x4 vibration with leveling kit

Hey all! I just about cried today... I was looking around randomly for truck accessories after putting in my Daystar leveling kit 3 weeks ago which I LOVE! ...and I came across a page about vibration in 4x4 with a leveling kit installed... so naturally I hopped in my rig thinkin' I would be one of the lucky ones, and well... not so lucky. In 4x4, with acceleration the front end shakes! it doesn't seem to let off at all unless I take my foot off of the gas. So I've done my own homework on it, and some people are saying it's upper ball joints, or the angle of the CV joints, yadi yadi yada.... I just wanna know if anyone has a fix for this (besides taking the kit out), if there is a good reasonable explanation for this, and of course, that I'm not the only one

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to bed lol

which daystar kit did you get? how much was it? did it just come with spacers or did it have the bump stop, etc, like this... http://www.readylift.com/c-52-ram-15...-4wd-only.aspx

It's just a spacer. I'm thinking I may have to look into that readylift system or just pull the whole thing out. Living here in Calgary Canada, it's a surefire thing that I'm gonna need 4x4 sometime soon. I may just need it this week already

Any ideas why this is happening though??
