Default Beefed carrier bearing drop bracket for lifted trucks

My friend has a new Tundra that he had lifted at 4WP. They did the usual washer spacers to bring the carrier bearing down, but it was super cheesie. The bolts were long, there were 3 thick washers per side, for a total of 1" drop and had a ton of flex & unwanted movement, plus he had driveline vibration. I made him this custom bracket, and made a top piece that gave it a 3rd attachment point using a factory hole in the crossmember above, which really Beefed it up by getting rid of the movement, and brought the C/B down a total of 2-3/4" for the proper driveline angles. A total bolt on. Just thought I'd share.
