    Don't by previous owner. Lift and wheels. I've added an alpine stereo and speakers. Amp to come soon. Camper shell and mattress
    I have edited it. I don't have the 4x4 part number for Toyota brand. I got the Rwd number by using my vin.

    I used Spicer 5-1330-1X that I got from Rock Auto w/ the 5% discount in my 2011 4wd DCSB. Doesn't fully answer your question, but I would think those should work for your application.

    The ones in the image that you posted have the zerk on the crotch and not on the end. The ones with the zerk in the crotch may be for the front DS, but I'm not sure about that as you can get either style for these trucks. The OEM ones are in the crotch on the front DS and on the end of the rear DS.

    Yeah these center support bearings are crap. Replaced mine for second time with spicer and the bearing is fine but the rubber is so badly deformed and sagged that it has a lot of slop moving it by hand.

    Is there a better aftermarket option? Poly or some other material?
