Carrier Bearing Spacer

[JuanSlowLBZ]

Trying to figure out if there is a chart or what not that shows what size spacer you need depending on how high the lift is. Could someone point me in the right direction? I would appreciate it big time

Most 6in lifted trucks run a 2in spacer between the support bearing and the frame mount. I have seen adjustments to this based on lift and driveline angle.
What lift and how much lift are you going to have or do you have?

right now it is 4" spindles and lift keys up front with 2" shackles and 2" blocks in the rear

Are you experiencing a vibration since installing the rear blocks?

Since it was lowered back down i have been. It was on a mcgaughys 7-9" lift with 37's. well now that it is dropped down to where its at now it vibrates but it does have about a 3 in a half inch spacer in between the carrier bearing and frame mount which i feel is too much for what it is now

Try removing the spacer and checking the condition of the carrier bearing. Depending on what rear block you have the spacer is probably not needed.

Carrier bearing is in great condition. Talk to the owner before me and he said it is almost a year old now. Also said the rear blocks are the stock 2" blocks

There has never been a stock rear block. Can you post a picture of the rear block?

That is something after market. I just remembered that you said it also has rear shackles? Can you post a picture of that as well? I would remove the carrier bearing drop at this point too. It should not be needed.

sorry bro been getting off crazy late from work lately. Going to take a few pictures tomorrow. Going to attempt to remove the CB Drop this weekend. Do you recommend a certain grade or style bolt, nut and washers?? Also by any chance would you have an idea of what to torque it down to? Thanks for all the info as well

I dont have the specifics on the hardware and torque. However grade 8 is always a good idea and normally available at hardware stores. Get lock bolts or nylocs and run them down.
