    Lifted my truck with below hardware at the recommendation of extreme terrain. Wonder if I was not supposed to use the blocks and rear sus together. Now I hear grinding on left or right low high G turns from rear. Thinking axle angle changed to much. And questioning if front diff drop is actually the answer or .....

    Installed Hardware:
    Front
    • Bilstein B8 5100 Series Front Shock .87-2.30-Inch Lift
    • Eibach 2inch lift springs
    • Freedom Offroad Front Upper Control Arms for 2 to 4-Inch Lift
    Rear
    • Bilstein B8 5100 Series Rear Shock for 2-Inch Lift
    • Supreme Suspensions 2-Inch Pro Billet Rear Lift Blocks

    Usually when rear is lifted on a leaf spring tundra a carrier bearing drop is needed. I needed one when I raised my rear just 1 inch.

    Id start there, carrier bearing drop and see how it responds.

    Probably not it because you didn’t mention any other work, but when I did my coilovers, I replaced the tie rod ends. Like a dummy I put the left on right and right on left - this caused it to rub the inside of my rims when turning.
