Coachbuilder Carrier Bearing Drop Kit | 0"–2" Rear Lift | Fits Toyota Tundra 1999–2006 & Tacoma 2005–2023 | Ekstrom Design

First-generation Tundras and 2005–2023 Tacomas with a two-piece rear driveshaft get the same driveline complaint the newer trucks do: lift the rear even an inch or two and a shudder shows up on takeoff. The shaft's operating angles change at the center carrier bearing, and this Coachbuilder Carrier Bearing Drop Kit — built for 1999–2006 Tundras and 2005–2023 Tacomas running 0”–2” of rear lift — lowers the bearing to put those angles back where they belong. The pair of spacers is CNC machined from T6 6061 billet aluminum, mounting hardware comes in the box, and the whole install is a 10–15 minute job with a single 25 ft-lb torque spec.

It only applies to trucks with a two-piece rear driveshaft — if there's no carrier bearing at the middle of your driveline, there's nothing to drop. Building out the rest of a lifted Tacoma? Four-wheel-drive trucks with front lift should look at the 1.00” Front Differential Drop Kit, and you can browse everything else in our Tacoma collection, driveline components, and the full Coachbuilder lineup.
