for the cost no harm in a high speed balance!

I'm doing the swap this week too, except I ordered a brand new shaft from DSS

Probably need to build a cross member to mount the carrier Bearing. Not sure if they are direct fit on length or what. Curious myself

Just did this swap this weekend. Driveline was out of a 2004 ext cab, new carrier bearing and u joints installed and just fabbed up a cross member from 1x3" rect tubing.
