    I just installed this kit to reduce wear on the carrier bearing after my 2" AAL. I was worried after my lift if I was going to have a vibe from the angle of the rear driveshaft, but thankfully I didn't. I still wanted to install this kit just to make sure there was as little wear as possible on my carrier bearing. There was a lot of mixed results on weather a carrier bearing drop would fix vibes, but for as inexpensive ($19 on Amazon) and easy this is to instal it's totally worth a try if you are experiencing vibrations.

    Just figured I would let you know this product has been talked about and used on here since the 2nd Gen 2005 Tacoma came out. But good looking out for a possible new person that might stumble upon it. Now are you newly lifted? As you will probably get the Needle Bearing Vibe soon and need to replace it with the ECGS Bushing found here.

    Yup, Installed the bushing. Pretty straight forward and made a huge difference.
