New England B.S. Thread

Looks like thats everything you will/could need. You can go with just the CB drop, or just the shims, but theres no telling which one will work better until the parts are on. Someone like pugga can probably give you a better opinion on that kinda stuff than i can.

 

I have a CB drop you can have if you're ever near me. It's the OME one, I bought it but it won't help my vibrations so I never installed it. Shims will likely be all you'll need.

With the longer 5100's, make sure you have enough play in the brake lines at full droop. With the standard 5100s, my lines get snug at full droop, I can't see them taking another 2 inches without breaking.

 

Your ears must have been burning lol

 

What is a CB drop

 

Carrier bearing spacer for our 2 piece driveshafts

 

Ok cool thanks Pugga.......I guess I'll try the shims first and see what vibes I get and start the game from there. Someone put the measurements of the longer b110 5100s.....im looking for it now and will post it. Think im gonna grab some braided lines too.

this was posted in the Allpro leaf thread

 

Shit I wonder If I need that

If I get rear vibes and its the shaft ill use my discount at the driveshaftshop

 

It's an oversized washer to step down the shitty rubber wrapped bearing that Toyota uses to support the 2 piece drive shaft.

 

Never really looked at it. I will next time I grease my u joints. I need a mod day or someone's garage to help me. I have cash for who ever. Work said "if it's replacement parts yes, altering your ride height is prohibited"

 

That sucks that you can't work on your truck using the lifts at work! Having an extra set of hands is really nice when swapping leaf springs.

This summer, I want to tackle my rear vibrations. I think it's a combination of a shitty carrier bearing and a soft transmission mount. There was a TSB released for the transmission mount but I was already out of warranty by the time I found it.

 

Ghey.................but im in the same boat. No driveway or tools....so i'll be looking to employ someones services as well soon enough.

 

I also have a cb drop someone can have if they want it .

 

You ever consider just getting a one piece? expensive but it seems to rid the vibes from our rigs. If the vibes drive me that nuts(and mine already does so I hope they're not much worse) I will def look into it.

 

Dave, technically the leaf springs are replacement parts. Just act surprised when you set it back down and it's sitting 3" taller. Practice your face.

 

I like cash and I have a garage with tools

 

Do go offroad with your truck ? If you do . You need extended lines .

 

I don't think a 1 piece is the answer. There's a thread all about vibrations where someone went through the rear driveline with an angle finder and Toyota didn't do a great job to mitigate vibrations. That coupled with a soft rubber mounted carrier bearing and a soft rear mount for the transmission equals bad vibrations, at least in my case. I've done some half assed fixes that have helped but I need to address the issue head on before something breaks on me.

 

Do you allow altering the ride height of a vehicle

 

Bilsteins from DSM were processed and shipped today!

 

Why don't you start with measuring the angles ? I've read that thread .

Sure whatever needs to be done as long as I'm getting paid . I don't care if you paint it pink with hello kitty on it
