    1/4 inch lean spacer for the Driver's side, possible Carrier Bearing Drop kit. And what UCA's did you get

    I have found wheelers super bumps to be much more pleasurable than oem all around.
    Also heard timberins are good if you’re loading up heavy for the rear.

    @thepolarbear thanks I will check th both out. Lot of choices in bump stops.

    @ScottyR thanks for reminding me about this. I read about it before and was planning on doing it.

    You will hear a slight rumble under your Driver's sidel area. And if you put it in 4x4 it will go away if it is a bad Needle Bearing

    Thanks mate !

    I have the wheelers front superbumps, and they just bolted up. They are larger/ longer than oem, but compress progressively to the same height as oem. Much more controlled feeling.
    The rears I’m not sure about, may depend on leaf pack? I went from stock directly to hydro bumps on the frame with a strike plate on the leaf pack.

    The clamshell bushing I haven't ordered not 100% sure if I am going to. I see a lot of people are getting it cover under warranty if it goes out. I have a really good relationship with my dealership, so I probably just order it if I have problems and have they install it under warranty.

    Replacing it doesn't fix the problem. The part is inherently flawed and will fail again.

    For the price, it's worth the peace of mind in my opinion. I've done it to both my tacomas. The first one it started showing symptoms so I replaced it. When I lifted my second one I did it at the time of install...

    For the cost of the bushing it's worth doing while you are in there. Saves a headache later down the road.
