    I have a little take off shudder and feel a little around 60mph. What are some thoughts of adding the carrier drop kit. Anybody had any luck with them?

    I don't have first hand experience on the results, but I have had a number of customers that said it helped. And others who didn't notice any difference. I am sure some others will chime in.

    It varies truck to truck really. Mine has a CB drop but still has a vibe around 25 mph.

    Mine didn't help at all. Still had take off shutter and 25 mph vibes. I fixed it with a 3mm shim at the cb and a 3° shim at the leafs

    Ok this proves all trucks get different results with the carrier bearing kit. Just received mine from Wheelers and installed it, and it is as smooth as silk! Take off and 60mph vibes gone! Thanks wheelers!
