    Just lifted my 2019 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD with the OME BP-51 heavy kit.
    Getting vibration in 2WD 0-25mph
    does not go away when shifting into 4H.

    figured I’d just replace the bearing and hope it changes.
    What else could it be. My rear end is definitely sitting higher than the front and I am hoping adding an RTT and bedrack will help?
    I did use the driveshaft spacer kit ARB and a front diff mount spacer kit. All recommended by the seller (Mudify)

    any thoughts or help is appreciated, thanks!

    The lift vibration is cyclical and you feel it in your left foot. (The front cv axle bushing)

    You may be getting rear driveline vibration from a big lift and no weight on the rear.

    Is there any angle shims or center support bearing drop?

    I added the kit in the picture below plus a front diff spacer kit (about 1-1.5” spacers)

    I have the same thing after installing a lift with a new leaf pack. I did the carrier bearing drop and also have the ECGS bushing. i have narrowed it down to the pinion angle of the rear axle/driveshaft. i got some 2.5° shims that i plan to install this weekend.

    My vibrations last until about 30mph, and peak around 18mph when decelerating.

    Keep me posted please! I’m going to add some weight in the back to see if it helps with the heavy rated leaf pack. Seems to be sitting up higher than 2-3”

    interested in selling your install remove tools for ecgs?

    Installed the shims and the vibes are 95% gone. I think i am going to order some 3° as i read somewhere that you should shim 1° for every inch of lift and i am up somewhere around 3" in the back. For all intents and purposes the vibes are gone. Around 18mph, where they had been the worst, i can feel them every so often.

    They are cheap so it may be worth installing and seeing if that does it for you, just remember to install them skinny side forward.
