    Hey all, I have looked around but have not found anybody who offers carrier shims for replacing the differential on an 8.4 rear end. I am looking at installing a truetrac but don't plan on being able to use the same shims as factory. Also, what bearings does Toyota install from the factory? I normally use Timken on my other stuff but would probably use what was installed at the factory.
