I recently lowered my extended cab silverado. did a flip kit and lower control arms. I need help on how to instal the carrier bearing because my drive shaft keeps making popping noises if i try driving without it. I've gotten underneath the vehicle to see if i can put the bearing more less how it goes but it just doesnt seem right. Also its a 4-6 drop if that helps

 

Sounds like you need to adjust your pinion angle to me.

 

 

ok, so how would i go about to adjust my pinion angle? i just tried moving the rearend around and facing the pumpkin more down. what would i use to measure degrees and what should the degrees be at? also do i need to install the carrier bearing first to find out for sure if it's the angle

 

This was easier then typing it all out

so from what i have read on the stu-offroad site all i have to do is set my rear shaft at 25 along with the pumpkin? can i keep my stock carrier bearing on or should i install the djm carrier before trying to set the angle?

 

i would install the carrier bearing, i had a local member do mine when i was 4.5/7, and i had no problems whatsoever, install the carrier bearing, its meant for 2 piece driveshafts
