Carrier bearing?

[Rolled Ranger]

My truck has huge vibration and noise when you take off from a dead stop until you get up to about 15mph, but it is not as bad if you take off slowly. I was told that I need a 1-piece driveline to fix the extreme angle caused by the 8" lift. I think the carrier bearing might be shot, there shouldn't be much play in it, right? If I replace that would that help the problem until I can get a new driveline or would it be a waste of time? Where would i go to get a new driveline? The local 4x4 shop?

you need 1-peace drive line out of a 98 + super cab ranger, look in the tech- libary or you can drop the cross member that holds the caryer bearing 7/8 of an inch or so for a temp fix, im goin with the 98 and up shaft. good luck buddie.
