Default Differential drop bracket


I found some differential drop brackets for those of you lifting your truck. Found it on e-bay and installed it on my truck along with my two inch strut spacer. Everything works great so far.

Excellent find. That will help with the angles of the front suspension components due to spacer installs immenesly!

Any chance you can snap some pics of the installed product along with pics of the ball joints/tie rods/CV axles?

A few pics would be hugely appreciated from me aswell. I am deep into lifting my 3rd Gen 3” and from all the negative feedback I’m ready to go back to stock and cut my losses. As far as I can see my last hurdle is this cv axle angle . If the drop diff kit corrects that then I think I’ll be good. A lot of people telling me this truck shouldn’t be lifted past an inch. I’d really love to prove them wrong. Any input from anyone is appreciated.

Sorry about the delay guys. The c/v angles are fine but the only thing that almost bottoms out at full droop is the tie rods.

I don't see the drop brackets? And, yeah, that tie rod angle is quite extreme....
