Default Carrier bearing question?
How many of yall have raised the carrier bearing after lowering? I've heard this is an option to stop the vibrations.

My shop did it when they installed my 2/4 drop and I have no vibrations. I'll try to upload a picture later.

I just had a 2/4 installed withou the carrier bearing raised and have the vibration. Going back to the shop to have them raise it. Don't know why they didn't do it the first time since it is in the instructions!

They should have done it right the first time since you are paying them. Which kit did you get?
