recent lift issuse

was wondering if anyone local could helpme out just install a 3inch lift on my 08 dcsb yesterday at work fronts are ome 885x w/5100 and rear all pro standard leaf pack with 5100 and now i have a vibration at 20-30 mph i know its probably the carrier bearing but was wondering if anyone has ran in to this problem and what they did to fix it any informantion will help thanks

 

OME makes a carrier (or center) bearing drop kit. It might also be the needle bearing, there is a massive thread on that. The test is does it go away when you engage 4wd-if yes then its the needle bearing. Good luck.

 

The carrier bearing seems to hold up pretty well in this truck. I'm at 100k in mine and still like new.

Sounds a bit like the diff vibe, but a little slow for it. Could be just a wheel bearing gone too.... how many miles do you have on your truck? I can check it out for you if you live anywhere on this side of Sac.

 

Its not about the carrier bearing failing. Its about lowering it to help with drive line angles.

 

i have about 70000 miles on the truck im located off of mack road would mind meeting up somewhere inbetween for you to check it out just pm the loaction

the vibe is still there when 4wd is engage gonna call my buddy at toyota and see if i could take it in since i have the extended warranty with toyota

 

If you go to McClellan area, we'll call it a deal. I'm not driving out of my way. I don't work until 3 tomorrow. PM me if you want to come out this way. The rest of the week I work normal hours and get off at 4pm.

 

He has the alpro leaf pack which is almost identical to mine if memory serves me correctly. His angles are not extreme... and regardless, last time I had a carrier bearing fail, it didn't 'vibrate'.... it squealed. If the carrier bearing is vibrating then the driveshaft is out of balance. If the angle is extreme and its causing driveline vibe thats one thing.... BUT, its not the carrier bearing failing.
