I have a 97 ex cab taco with a 4-link bags mounted on lower bars and its eating carrier bearings, when you air it up it pulls the drive line down and back. and drop it and it pushes it forward, it rips the insides out of the carrier bearing. only way i can think would be to lower the carrier bearing and make it a better angle but then it will be dragging the ground. any advise? there 80$ each and i drove it 300 miles and its already shot

The easiest cure would be to have a driveshaft built with a telescoping rear section. Earlier Cads and some newer trucks use them to aleviate the plunging stress induced by a compromised suspension designs. If your system is really causing that much of an issue, I would be curious to see how it is set up. If the bars are off enough to cause those issues, you might want to think about a new system. Post some pics if you can.

Is your carrier stock or have you flipped or modded it?
