    Installed 3rd gen 5100s at 4th setting in May of this year. Noticed the intermittent rumble strip vibes when i would leave from work in the a.m. as the temps started to fall in maybe September. Got the ecgs bushing installed today. Smooth as can be. Thanks for the help TW20171209_200622.jpg

    Is this what most are using after gear oil? I believe this is what Ecgs is recommending.

    Just completed the ECGS bushing install after getting the vibration everyone with a lift experiences. All went well. No more issues. I have the extraction tool if anyone is interested. $45.00 TYD. Just shoot me a PM

    And as mentioned in the previous comments, it is now cold here, and more noticeable.

    Just got done doing the bushing of my 17 DCSB. Maybe I’m just one lucky guy, or some have blown it out of proportion. I was already putting a OME lift on my truck so the lower arm, sway bar link ect... was already out of the way. But from the time we started to pull the CV out to the time we were tipping fluids off was only about 30 minutes. Pretty simple job and glad I knocked it out while I was in there. Thanks for all yalls info on the process.

    I am curious, has anyone had these vibrations with just a front leveling kit where the front is only raised an inch or so?

    I raised mine 1.75" and I havent noticed anything yet. I've only had my front lift on for about 500 miles though.

    That's good to hear. How did you lift? Coilovers? Spacer?

    I’ve been reading this thread for a while but I still don’t understand why exactly does a lift harm the needle bearing... is it because there is more pressure on the exterior part of the tire due to the lift?? I’m not mechanic but I would like to understand.. I leveled my 4x2 sr with a 1/2” block on the front only and I Do NOT off-road... should I be worried about my front bushings? I do not have any vibration for now...

    Thanks!

    What bushings are you referring to? If you're worried about the vibs from lifting your truck, this doesn't apply to you since you don't have a front diff. The only thing that may give you vibes in a 2wd is your drive shaft angle.. so shimming your rear axle or your carrier bearing will help you.

    What has everyone come up with for installation in terms of tools used?
