    Hey guys, I recently installed the LRT 3 to 1 leveling/lift kit on my 2015 and it looks great! I have a slight vibration from 35-45mph. Similar to a heart beat. I have been reading alot of the threads about the problem. I ordered the OME FK29 driveline carrier bearing drop kit. Will this prevent the vibration?

    Thanks for your help!

    Is anyone running a 285/75/16 tire on stock wheels, with no rubbing with this kit?

    We (Discount Tire & I) tried that with my stock Sport wheels. The lift was not a problem, but the backspacing would not allow it even with 275 tires. It would hit the upper control arms, hense the reason for my aftermarket wheels.

    Do you think spidertrax spacers would solve the UCA rubbing issue?

    It probably would, I was just looking at $300.00 for Frt. & Rr. "Quality" spacers or $500.00 for new wheels and I'd have a Taco that looks different from the Jones.

    What wheels did you go with and what is the backspacing on your wheels?

    You will need spacers to run stock wheels! I run 1.5 inch spacers and turf off road wheels with 285 75 R 16

    Sorry fellas, I haven't been notified on this thread for a long time. Not sure why.
    Anyway, still loving the kit, still drives great, straight and smooth. Mine does seem to still be about a 1/4 to 3/8 lower in the back just as it was when I first put the kit on. I'm still not sure why that is as I know we did everything exactly right. It's hard to notice when you look at it in the real world still but...Dig the kit, no regrets.

    Also @JamesatLowrange - I don't mind if you use any of the photos.

    Don't listen to all trash talking about spacer lifts!! I did with my 14 model and went with 5100's. Just recently traded it for a 17 model in which the dealer installed 3 and 1 pro comp lift. The ride is excellent and to the ones that say it's for people who don't go off road are wrong, they are fine for mudding and for just about anything you want to Do! Not everyone goes ROCK CRAWLING!

    Anybody experienced differential vibration after installing this kit? I put it on my 2015 Tacoma and now I have a vibration from 25 to 45 mph that goes away if I put in 4wd.

    Sounds like the standard needle bearing issue after lift that needs the ECGS bushing to correct it. There are tons of threads about this on here if you're looking for more details.

    After I had posted my question I found out about the ECGS bushing. Toyota also has there own service bulletin out on it. Toyota's are still damn good trucks but the don't compare to my 1984 Toyota Xtra cab with the solid front axle and 22r. I had 38 inch superswamper tsl's on that and it didn't vibrate.
