How are your Right Stuff brakes working out? I have the same kit on my 8 3/4 and although the braking ability is great I can't seem to eliminate this terrible growling noise I get after driving for a while. Hope you've had better luck.
Bearing noise? Are you using green bearings? Sounds kind of like your clearance is ok when cold, but as stuff gets hot you don’t have enough, like a bearing with too tight of a tolerance.
