I tried the wedges slight improvement but still shuddering.
I go on to a company called http://www.driveline.com.au in Brendale, Brisbane.
They make Triton one piece tail shafts for $350, got it made put on bingo, tail shaft shudder disappeared.
I asked what causes it as it in the increased angle, but they said no thats not the problem.
They told me what causes the shudder is when you increase the angle with the lift and the higher lift you go the worst it will get, is that the rear tail shaft is further away from the centre cuppling there by stretching the rubber inside thus causing the shudder.
anyway thats what they said and i happier i no shudder no more
cheers

Just realised that this thread was from 2008.. So wanted to check if people are still experiencing this shudder in the newer models and if the brands have improved their design. I am driving a 2010 me glxr manual. I have plans to put a 2inch lift and was thinking about trying to get another half inch to an inch on the back because that dam ass end keeps bottoming out! But from what I am reading the more level the car is the better so that might not be a wise idea
