    Not to argue but my observations are a lot of people don't know about it. Almost daily someone makes a thread saying "I got these vibes and it's not from my ladies bedroom toy."

    Just sayin'. Happy new year!

    You don't quite have my situation, but I've had constant and oscillating vibes since 3,000mi on the stock suspension. They come and go, so I haven't gotten around to the bushing swap yet. I just crossed 29k.

    No lift BUT i did do it as prevented maintenance because the truck was under 1 year old (2016) and everything will be easer to take apart than 3 or 4 years later if i get to doing a 1" or so lift.
    and i plan on keeping it running for over 15 years or more so Very cheap to do ( what $5 a year) that's going to be 1 gal of gas...
    only took 1-1/2 hour and i took my time. not hard to do.

    When doing a spacer lift for a total lift of 2in do you still have to replace the bearing? Does it change the angles with a spacer? I'm not mechanically inclined.

    sortof stock. 6112/5160, pro wheels and a tune.
    I went from 1.1 to 2" two or three months ago, and i started to get a vibe at 2" (at 1.1 or 1.55 it was quiet), so i have a bushing and tool waiting at home for whenever i get frisky enough to do it. for the cost of it, its a no brainer to just do it when its apart and never have to think about it again. I didnt, so i have to take it all apart again ha, so dont be like me.
