Yea, you need one of these:

CST CARRIER BEARING DROP BRACKET

This is REQUIRED on any 2wd lifted Titan with more than 2" of REAR LIFT.

Here is a picture of it installed on my truck:

I didn't install it myself. My friend did it, but I could easily do it myself now.
You just cut that cross-member where you see it was cut on mine, on both sides of the driveshaft, then put the drop bracket in there and tighten down.

check your rear tranny mount. known to tear and cause a popping sound when pegging the gas. i had a popping sound but my tranny mount was fine. turned out to be my passenger side leaf spring pack collar was broken. just removed it and sound gone.

i have the deaver pack that greg at PRG put together and spec'd. mine is the c30 pack. provides between 2.5" to 3"s of lift and the ride is much better in the back.

So the Deaver spring pack rides better than stock? In my experience with other trucks, add a leafs and lifted spring packs were always super stiff which is why I opted for a block for my lift. The stock springs feel way to stiff, just not enough weight on the rear end.

The deaver pack is totally opposite ride of a add-a-leaf.

I have the same issue as FLAKO, the "Popping" sound coming from the rear underside of my truck after i did my PRG coil over Radflos up front and the 1.5blocks on the rear. Its annoying because i dont know if anything is getting messed up when i have to lean into the throttle a bit to make passes or get on the freeway. Even taking off from stop signs or lights, i usually have to ease into the throttle so it does not make the popping sound. It sucks not being able to hit the throttle when ya wanna drop another truck. LOL:redblob"

Im thinking of either trying a 1in block to see if things line up better or just doing the carrier bearing and hope it works for me and stops the popping.:bangit:

Thanks for any other posting of what works!

no, it will not affect it... you can leave it in.

also, adding blocks exponentially increases the axle wrap. either remove the blocks or add traction bars to eliminate.

i had the same popping sound or a popping sound on acceleration and it turned out to be the oem leaf spring collars which had broken off. its worthless or so says PRG, so i removed them from both sides and the popping sound suffice it to say is no mo...

Hey Flako, Yeah the u bolts were the 1st things Greg at PRG told me to check. They were tightened to the specs in the instructions but i went ahead and downloaded the factory tech manual for my truck and tightened the bolts to 89ftlb like it stated and it still makes the sound. So i went 2ftlbs more and so now im still trying to get rid of it. My drive line is super close to the original factory line spec after i installed the pinion shims to angle the rear end up to line up with the drive line, but i guess its still not enough. So I guess i will be trying to get a hold of Greg at PRG so i can get the carrier bearing drop kit and hope that solves the issue. Then i can move on to better things to upgrade! :eveilgrin

Hooligan, I will look into the parts you mentioned as well. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the replies Flako / Hooligan and anyone else!
