    I'm no expert, but after I did my lift, I immediately got the needle bearing noise, and it was more noticeable at lower speeds, not as bad when at highway speeds, pretty sure its rotating against the needle bearing at all speeds. There are tons of posts on TW about the needle bearing noise after lifting if you want more info.

    Finally got my lift installed! My lift guy for some reason had trouble understanding the diff drop and didn't install it.
    So I guess that made my decision of install it or not.
    The ECGS kit did the trick beautifully, and so far I'm loving the ride.
    Granted the rear is a bit bouncy with the toytec long AAL, the fox 2.0's round the ride off nicely.
    Harsh jars/ pot holes don't feel abrasive anymore. The bigger the bump, the better the truck takes it. Uneven highways are where I notice increase 'highway hop' but I see that settling out. Especially when I get my rear bumper installed.

    Going to try and do the bumpstops myself. Probably a washer extension up front and a toytec striker plate extentsion for the rear.
    All in all I'm happy with the turn out!
