    I'll try that! Appreciate it. My only other guess is I need to install the rear axle angled shims under my leaf springs so my rear diff and driveline are inline better.

    All trucks are different, but I'm about +2 in the rear with no shims or carrier drop and have no vibe issues.

    My guess is the vibes you are getting are from the bearing. I was able to feel vibes through the steering wheel which was a dead giveaway it was from the front.

    Yeah, I figure the ball joint will be easy to change off the truck and I was looking at picking up this kit to replace the bushings.

    My bumper is Brute Force. I ended up just rattle can primer and bedliner, as much work as it was though I would probably powder coat if I were to do it again.

    Like @WrecklessAbandon said i don't think shims will solve your issue.

    Yeah I agree with you guys. My driveline was rebuilt 2 years ago with new u-joints/carrier bearing. i grease them regularly now, after seeing how bad the stock ujoints were I was pretty shocked.

    Not doable by hand, but easy to do with an improvised tool.

    Does the LCAs you ordered come with bushings? or are those bushings you're talking about going to be for when you rebuild your stock LCAs?

    Oh ok, I had pelfreybilt powder coat my front bumper which I installed 6 years ago, and the powder coat is flaking pretty bad now and starting to rust the bumper.

    I'm going to take my bumper off and send it to Seattle Powder Coat, they did my rear bumper 4 years ago and it still looks brand new. It wasn't cheap my rear was $425 and they quoted me the same for the front. But they have a really good prep, sandblast and powder coating process that's meant for marine applications so i figured it's a good investment.

    Just picked up a 12k synthetic smittybilt winch on Amazon for only $500, so I need the bumper redone.

    It doesn't take a ton of force to press it in. You just need something flat that wont poke the seal. A wooden dowel would be fine, or a big ol socket.

    I'm a fancy bitch so I 3D printed a tool to do it...

    I have a new/un-opened OEM seal in Renton if you need it. I bought it with the ECGS bushing but ended up not needing it.

    Thank you for clarifying, as I was thinking about it I wondered if it would need a bit more persuasion than just using your hands.
