Carrier bearing drop bracket

who makes a good drop bracket for the carrier bearing! I have a 3.5 inch lift in the rear and I keep blowing bearings!

 

I found this one. Another TW member posted it. You just have to look around a little bit on this forum.

 

stacking some washers also works.

 

Is that all that thing needs? 1/2 inch? My rear is about 3.5" lift maybe a little more

 

Here is some more info from their homepage. Or have you already checked it out?

 

I suggest talking to @scheide about stacking washers instead. Also @devinzz1 he knows a lot about this too.

Yea most people just stack some washers and it does the same thing.

What kind of rear lift is it? you may need axle shims.

Im gona assume your using an aftermarket bearing not an oem on?

 

The lift is all pro 3" leafs and all pro 3/4inch lift shackles it's like 3.5 inch lift
As for the bearing it's after mArket but my next one I'm gonna get a oem

 

Street Tacos has them. They make them upon order and take about a month to get to your door. Here is one for a 4" lift and below. http://stores.streetacos.com/carrier-bearing-bracket-1-1-2-95-5-04-tacoma-4-lower-rear-lift/

 

Did you relocate the leaf and shackle mounts yourself? if they weren't done properly that could cause the driveline to be out of alignment aswell.

And definitely go oem. the aftermarket ones (especially the dorman one) are junk.

 

Alright so I'm looking at putting axle shims and a drop bracket for the cb. Looking at that street taco one look way to over kill to drop the cb 1.5 inches then for all the other kits being only .5. So gonna take the driveshaft off and put a angle finder to see where I'm at on both pinion and transmission. Once I get that angle will there be a specific length on the drop for the cb after I shim the axle?
