    So what is exactly needed to stop the vibrations? I know I'll probably need a driveshaft spacer, but what about a cb drop spacer? And what size do I need?

    Just undo the four bolts and put the new four in. Be careful when pulling the drive shaft off the flange when you remove the four bolts!! Mine was kind of stuck so I pushed it so hard that when it came off I blew through my carrier bearing, so then I had to pull my whole drive shaft and get a new carrier bearing. I suggest using a flat head and trying to tap/ pry it off! Worked alot better the second time, and it takes like 10 minutes to do.

    Hey, Thanks for the quick reply, Yes sending a replacement would make me feel much better, just in case something does go bad, will have the backup to replace it with one thats good! The noise is when im driving straight, nut turning, sounds like metal scraping metal while turning, also said bc of this, i may need to replace a bearing in the future, thats what im worried about also. Let me know if you need my address to send the spindle out, Thanks, JJ Here is the address: J. Gamble Jones IV 6168 St Andrews Rd Columbia S.C 29212

    A spacer is recommended. The size of the spacer all depends on your lift. I have a 3" rear lift and I bought a 1" spacer. Assuming for a 4" rear lift I'd get the 1.25" spacer.

    Does it look like I need any spacers? I'm only at 2 inch in rear but about to be at 3.5?

    You're fine. It's when the black piece is violently poking out of the transmission that you should think about spacers.

    Who installed these spindles themselves without a hydrolic press for the hubs? Is it doable? I want to install mine tomorrow. Can I do the swap in a day?

    No press needed, back out 4 bolts & hubs come right out. It can be done in a day, front & rear can be done in a day. Last one we did was a complete 4" kit & took us about 5 hrs & that includes bullshitin.

    So the hubs don't need to be press IN? And thank you for the input. I think in will do the rear tonight and front in the morning.

    Nope, the hubs are bolted in, just make sure to back out/install in a circular or star pattern so you get the hub in/out smoothly and evenly. Otherwise I can see it trying to bind up if you just back out the bolts one at a time

    Although in retrospect I guess you can only get a turn or two per bolt anyways since they are partially hidden behind the hub lol and you can only turn more by loosening all of them at the same time. So a natural circular loosening pattern would be common sense once your down there lol
