    Been reading about lifts and the need for ECGS bushings to replace the needle bearings whenever you lift past 2 inch. Also saw a few comments here and there about 2 WD not needing ECGS bushing. Can anyone explain?

    Thanks in advance

    No. You don't have CV axles up front

    You don't have a front differential where the needle bearings are either.

    Gotcha. So when lifting a 2WD, I don't have to worry about those vibs that the 4x4s experience. Thank you both for explaining!

    How much lift? The brake lines will be a concern if it’s very high.

    Dang it. Wandered in here looking for a good Friday dumpster fire. And all I found was some folks helping another member out. Good on you, TW.
