PMF Adjustable carrier bearing kit

Installed on my truck and wasn't very pleased with it. Had it installed for 3 days. Paid 175 asking 150 shipped. Text 903-920-1083 for pictures.

whats the amount of adjustablity ? i have / will have atleast 8"s of lift

 

[Zmann]

check the websites but yes I run 8 and the PMF brand

I think they all do 0- 12 ? maybe more since rule of thumb is 1/4 drop per inch of lift IIRC

his bracket allows the center carrier bearing to be adjusted from 0" to 4" of drop, moved front to rear 4", and angled from flat to a max of 20 degrees. This adjustability allows you to get the carrier bearing precisely adjusted to eliminate binding that causes unwanted vibration and greatly shortens the life of your u-joints, carrier bearing, and pinion bearing.

cool ,thanks Zmann

I just can seem to get it adjusted where it removes all the vibration. I actually have more with it installed versus the stock bracket.

 

[Zmann]

interesting
because you can put it to the same position as a stock bracket if you wanted ?

but you should have needed about an inch and a half of drop plus the tilt to match the drive line so the isolator wasn't in a bind .

you may need a pinion shim under your blocks ?

With the PMF bracket you can put the carrier bearing above or below the adjustable piece that bolts to the actual bracket. I've tried it both ways and its not any better than stock. I had vibration on take off and none on the highway. With the PMF installed I've got no vibration at take off but vibration at highway speed. By the looks of the axle it seems to be pointed damn near directly at the back of the transfer case. Thinking of just buying some spacers and playing with them. Honestly, the PMF bracket seems like with the amount of adjustability and pieces, its going to be hard to completely remove all the vibration. Not only that but the driveshaft was slightly rubbing the inside of the bracket and I had to loosen everything up and shift it around until it wasn't rubbing. I really like the design but I think it should be "beefed" up a bit.

Hmm

I had no issues with clearance

the real advantage is the ability to angle the carrier bearing and take the bind out of the rubber isolator

you will loose that using simple spacers .

there is more to drive angles than having the diff pointed to the transfer case IMHO
