    Can someone explain to me in brief what the carrier bearing drop is? And what it does? Thanks.

    Not sure how good they are, I was going to post the same question about my numbers. Firestone said this is the best they could get it....i took it there twice already, I can see slight negative camber \**/ on mine especially on the drivers side and the outside of my drivers side tire seems to be wearing

    Anybody really dislike their Pro setup and feel the need to upgrade to something else or go back to stock?
    Id be willing to buy anyone's suspension that they really dislike!

    That camber is fine, well within spec. You would only notice outside tire wear after a long period and distance with no rotations.

    I’d consider taking you up on that, but I’m pretty sure shipping costs would kill anything.

    TRD Baja Kit with JBA UCA's 1/2 inch spacer on top, Medium Dakars with BAMF hangars and super bumps all around. 285/75/16 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's on graphite TRD faux beadlock wheels. Pro skid powder coated black with Pelfreybilt aluminum mid skid and aluminum gas tank skid.
    Your camber is okay the closer to 0 the better for tire wear. I would get them to put your caster out closer to 2.5 unless you have new upper control arms. The ride will be way better with more caster. Before I lifted mine my caster was at about 2.6 stock and the ride was really good. Now that I'm lifted (I have the Baja kit with 1/2 inch spacers, JBA upper control arms, Deaver 3 leaf with overload in, Toytec ubolt flip kit and super bumps all around) with the JBA upper control arms which have 2 degrees built into them and my caster is right at 3 and both toe and camber are 0. I love the way it drives especially on the highway. I know you don't really need new UCA's but I think it makes a big difference.

    Since my first attempt to add some colors to the reservoirs failed here is my second attempt:
    With all the red up front I figured a bit in the back is in order!
    I also like the bilstien white letters that comes on the 5160's brackets so I made some.

    This Thread has been dying out lately.
    Figured I’d revive it.

    I'm getting vibrations as well after installing my Trd Pro lift. I just ordered the OME carrier bearing drop kit from Headstrong. I hope it fixes my vibrations. I left my OL spring installed. I will report back after install and test drive.
