    I don't think he has the problem yet. Just trying to do preventive maintenance?

    Yep guys, I have this issue already. I installed my lift and went on my first big trip and half way through I noticed the humming and vibration. I'd say it started around 21k miles.

    I had this done a few months ago. Along with both seals. Shop charged $200 for just labor. If you want that tool that ECGS sells let me know. I would sell for half of their price. Don't need it anymore.

    It's the tool that ECGS makes to pull the factory needle bearing out. Then the solid one gets tapped in. Their Website has a video
