    Also, your comments? I put a 3/1 lift. 285/75/16 or 265/75/16?

    Almost certain 285 will rub if you have factory UCA’s, and are using factory wheels. Even with a spacer you may need to CMC. I could be wrong there, that’s not my area of expertise. Someone here will chime in I’m sure.

    I’m running 265/75/16’s without issue. 2.5” squared. I’m about to get some methods, and pair them with a fresh set of Nittos. Aiming to get a .25 poke. Personal preference.

    I recently drove 500 miles or so before I could replace it and it was vibrating like crazy but surprisingly wasn’t completely gone when I removed it (but had noticeable play).

    I think I spent only $250 at my local offroad shop to get the ECGS bearing done.

    I was quoted $500 CAD ($369 USD) by a local shop who specializes in Toyota's. This was parts and labor. I did it myself in the garage with my brother. It can be a bit tedious though.
