Looks like it’s already been covered.
I was going to say I think the spring clamp with the little rubber cap is typically on the hot side pipe near the spyder. What’s your hot side look like? Have spring clamps over there?
Someone correct me if I’m off base here.
And I have always wondered why they have the little cap on the clamp. Some type of production phenomenon I assume. Safety?
Here's the hot side. All spring clamps except for one.
I know Ford used different drive shaft center support bearings on different applications. Would anybody happen to know which of the available carrier bearings my truck takes? Regular cab long bed, 137-in wheelbase. There are so many different options. I know Jason uses Spicer parts and seals. But even they have multiple different center support bearings. Jason, would you happen to know?
I put this source in your other thread as well. Ventures Truck Parts in Ogden UT is a good source for genuine Spicer parts and truck suspension/axle parts.
They have an eBay store, but if you don't know what you are looking for they answer questions over the phone and are very helpful.
As Cody said, shim your carrier down, start at about 3/16” flat stock and drill your two holes for the bolts to go through. This will likely solve your vibration that is probably a result of new driveline angles
The regular cab truck I have here does not have a carrier bearing. It’s a one-piece driveshaft. As soon as I get the transmission and t-case in, I’ll measure new length and have one of the shafts shortened (donor 4wd or the 2wd).

I think the carrier bearing is a manual transmission deal. Two auto regular cabs here (one is mine) and no two-piece shafts. But hey, it might be an E99 thing too, who knows? Ford couldn't even tell me yesterday if the 2017 F350 sitting in the driveway has a Sterling 10.5 or an M275 Dana. Good thing I can tell the difference.

If shimming down the carrier doesn't work, I will check them out!
