First Time Here with a few Questions

I know very little about Tacomas but I ended up buying a 2018 6 speed standard Sport, with a lift very recently. As it turns out the lift is causing vibration on the needle bearing and has me concerned, I want to get it fixed as soon as I can. I know this is a common problem with lifted Tacoma's and know that ECGS has a clamshell replacement for it that fixes the issue. I live in Kingston Ontario and I'm having a hard time finding someone to do the repair. What I want to do is buy the ECGS part, and give it to a mechanic to install. I can go to Kingston Toyota but only as a last resort. The mechanics I've spoken to aren't sure what I'm talking about, but there seems to be a common recommendation to take the truck to Mr Transmission to get it done. I spoke to Mr Transmission and they seemed to understand the situation, and are willing to do the repair. I've only had the truck about 6 weeks and I think the vibration has increased a little. So, maybe a couple questions;

Is Mr transmission a good choice to do this work?
Is there anyone that might know the Kingston area and recommend a mechanic?
What costs might I be looking at to do this work?
Does Toyota actually make a better part for this?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. In the short time I've had the Taco I've really grown to like it so I want to get it fixed right

Many thanks in advance

Welcome to TacomaWorld
I think ECGS sells the tool to replace the needle bearing with a bushing.
Is this what you're talking about vs. replacing the clamshell ?

 

Thanks for your reply. This is the part I'm referring to.

My understanding (correct if wrong) is this part takes the place of the original needle bushing and eliminates the vibration on Tacoma's that have a lift installed,
as I do.

Thanks
