Default TECH FANATICS DS HELP

I'm facing increasing high speed vibes starting at 120 mph eversince I switched to 3:73's. No noise and installation was perfect.
I was told my factory 3' Alum DS is not balanced for that ratio.
My options are 3.5' Lingenfelter Alum or Carbon fiber DS.
Which do you recommend? price is $300 VS $700+.

Take your stock shaft to the shop and get it balanced.... I have known many people with 3:73's and 4:10's while I was in Germany running 150+ with no problems...

try the rebalance on your stock one first and if that doesn't work I would go with a Denny's Nitrous driveshaft.
