    I wouldn't use any of that hodge podge for a diff drop or carrier bearing drop. Where are the longer bolts, nuts that you need and proper sized washers? There are several vendor's here that sell diff/carrier bearing drop kits. I'd return everything you bought. @Toytec Lifts

    Just purchase a correct drop kit as needed, they will be all correct fit and correct grade materials. And they do not cost much. I would not try and hobble together something yourself, you are not going to save much $ and if the items are not good quality and the correct grade material you are looking at problems.

    I heeded the members advice and purchased carrier bearing drop kit....differential drop and skid plate drop kit....front sway bar drop spacers and brake line extension and abs relocation extender kit....that should take care of the drops and extensions for best chance of success for alignments for 2 to 3 inches of lift.....rear icon w/resi and CDC....set of SPC UCA’S....set of add a leaf springs for 1.5 to 2 inches of lift in the rear...I already have the front icon struts with resi/CDC with up to 3 inches of lift in the front....1/4 inch shims x 2 for the drivers lean....so everything should be here by next week....then All I need is an installer....and bigger tires....275/80r/18 on stock 1794 wheels....we’ll see how everything comes together by the end of April....that’s the soonest I predict for the install....thank you for the advice...
