    I've yet to do any mods myself but I can't tell you how many posts I've read over and over. Lol. As far as I can tell, definitely install the ecgs bearing. You may not notice vibration right away and it will come soon after. You may get instant vibration. If I'm correct the BP51 is a 3" lift? I plan on doing the bearing when I lift this summer because I've read about vibrations on everything from a spacer kit to a full lift with uca's and everything. Just my 2 cents take it how you will! Good luck

    ECGS is not the carrier bearing, its the driver CV Inner bearing. Requiring the shaft to be pulled to install.

    Millions of threads on this already. If you lift you will need the bearing. Most people don't think they have the bearing vibration, till they replace it with the ECGS one and then notice how quite the ride is.

    It's not a bearing....it's a bushing.

    This is the first time I've seen someone say this, maybe it was installed incorrectly? What are the symptoms your experiencing?

    Do the ECGS bushing. I did it on my 2nd and 3rd gen- IT WORKS. A little labor intensive because I did it after I installed the lift.

    No issues, I like the slightly firmer rideQuality of the 5100's.

    Is there a similar bushing on the passenger side? Wonder if you need to do that side as well?

    You only need to do the driver side/ replacing the needle bearing w/the bushing!

    Yes, you could experience rear driveline vibrations. I recommend measuring the angles of trans and pinion flanges along with driveshaft angles as they sit stock, then compare them to after you lift your truck. The before measurement is a good reference to go by.

    Lifted my 017 TRD offroad this past Saturday with an OME kit and everything is good, no problems at all. The only thing I did was use the center bearing spacers to lower the driveline.
