Even the poly version.
The poly version allows for zero give.
Do you have a slip yoke in the rear shaft?
I know all the heavy duty 1-ton and bigger trucks use the “horse shoe” shaped carrier bearings.
I would definitely consider switching to that style with a rear slip yoke.

Yeah... between my last truck and this one I have come to hate this bearing as well. I don't know why I am hesitant to try and change it to something different, especially since I've modified just about everything else on this truck! I will definitely look into the heavy duty version. I need to come up with a better mount anyway since I don't like all the spacers I have in there, so I might as well make a mount for a better bearing. To answer your question, I do not have a slip yoke in the rear shaft. I considered one, but wasn't sure it was necessary because the stock shaft didn't have one. My truck only has about +/- 2" of suspension travel, so there's not much movement back there compared to stock suspension.
