Thumbs up Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing

I know this is a old thread but thought I would update it. I didn't use the bearing at all. I had questions about the drive shaft after the 6.0 4l80e install and decided to check it out myself. I found they screwed it up and cut mine to short. They Hawk's ended up having a 1 piece built for me at their cost.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Yes in the end Bruce the owner of Hawks made it right.I'm just glad it didn't come out of the transmission when I was driving it.

Re: Heavy duty carrier bearing

I know you have a one-piece now, but why wouldn't you have upgraded to the HD carrier bearing instead of the light duty one?

I was going to because everyone talked about how good they where. I figured it was a good upgrade. After all this negativity I'm not sure I would.
