    The ECGS bushing is for the front end vibration and has nothing to do with the rear end vibration.

    I do however think it is hilarious how much lift people are claiming to get out of the RXT pack. I went from the Dakar pack with the extra leaf to the RXT pack in level three and lost about an inch and a half. So I cut a Tundra overload down that was 5/8" thick and bolted it to the bottom of the leaf pack to gain for height since my shocks where too long. Still had to install Timbren bumps to soak up some extra height to not bottom the shocks out. Still did. Now they need a rebuild and sold. Bought the RXT shocks to go with the spring pack and going to remove the block I made. Might even go to stage two and take some stiffness out and let the weight distribution hitch do its job and not try to compensate with a stiff suspension. So if you need longer shocks I will have some custom built Icon 2" resi's that measure 29" at full extension.

    Also added the front end lift...and it was front end vibration felt in the wheel. I just went a bit scatter brained and went from one topic to the next.
    As for the rear height, the only possibility I can conclude is that my stock springs were so worn out that the amount they were sagging effected the new ride height (ie -3 inch ride height)

    Ah, then yes go with the ECGS bushing we have put lots of them in at work and they make a world of difference. So much so that even as a Toyota dealership, I stock the ECGS bushing for when all the toyota recommended ideas don't work, we can go that route.
