    I’ve found 1 thread in which a member’s truck after the frame swap had their carrier bearing installed upside down.

    Just want to give others a heads up to check that if you have a vibration once it’s completed. I ended up needing a new driveshaft assembly due to this mistake.

    o_O:facepalm:Dang. Now THAT is messed up. Did the dealership at least replace your driveshaft for free?

    Sounds about right.
    Got mine back after the springs got replaced bolts were never tightened. I usually check work after it’s done. A frame swap would make me loose my mind.
    Welcome to TW by the way.

    I got those replaced as well but they were tight.

    Thanks for the welcome
