Default Weird Vibration...Please Help!

Hey guys have a question that i cannot find an answer to. My truck started doing this yesterday out of the blue, it shakes when decelerating. Not hitting the brakes, just taking my foot off the gas at any speed. When i accelerate it goes away. ANY ideas?

2007 1500 Quad Cab
6" lift 35" tires

Welcome to DF.

First, before anything else, please read this:

Will move this to the 3rd Gen section for you (2002-2008 Rams). What engine do you have? 4x4 or 4x2?

I used the search button, found plenty of unrelated articles. Mine seems to be a different problem bcuz it is at any speed and doesnt involve the brakes. Its 4x2, thanks for the help

vibration during coasting (deceleration) without the brake applied that goes away when giving it gas is very often the result of a bad pinion seal... Could also be alignment, but I'd check that pinion seal first...

Could be a universal joint on your drive shaft. I had a vibration when accelerAting and it would go away when I let off the gas. I know its the opposite but worth checking them. Could be broken on the opposite side mine was. One cap broke and some of the needle bearings fell out.
