    Anyone have a picture of service manual or a write up of proper alignment and center for the carrier bearing been googling and can't find it . Want to make sure after a bearing drop spacer kit install might have shifted around a bit .
    Thanks

    Yeah I'm surprised I can't find anything on it tried my best but still getting some slight vibration at highway speeds. Doubt it's the tires but who knows did a 2 inch lift up front an an inch at the rear same time I got 33s MT

    On my truck when I did about the same lift, I actually just spun the carrier bearing around 180 degrees, actually giving the carrier bearing a slight lift instead of lowering it. Theres a thread somewhere on here that talks about the angles, and how most carrier drops arent needed.

    Interesting yeah I installed it hoping it would help but seems like it didn't do anything. Maybe axle shims are the answer idk lol need to look into an angle finder
