    Has anyone heard of a center support bearing made out of a more durable, less flexible material than the OEM part?

    I have a 2011 with a 3" lift and I'd like to upgrade the bearing to avoid even the most minimal axel vibe. Thanks!

    I added a pillow block bearing but since it's a solid mount I get a little bit of vibes between 60-65 mph. Not really vibes more of a hum. But you can add some rubber or something between the mounts to reduce it. It's a great bearing. There is a thread on ttora. When I had my 3" lift and stock bearing I had no vibes at all. Idk what's causing yours.
