    I added the coil spacers to level my truck, but on the instructions that came with the spacers, also mentions somethin about putting spacers on the front differential to drop it a bit to compensate, I guess. My question is: has anybody put the spacers with the differential drop? And if you did, how thick are the spacers? In other words, how many inches is the differential droped? My guess is that is the same thickness as the spacers, but I would like to comfirm with someone who actually has them.

    It's called the diff drop. It's little spacers that lower your diff so the cv are level

    Thanks, going by the pictures, I see that there is more of a rotation than a drop, so no point in putting spacers there. Thanks for the info. Good timing. I was already gonna go to home depot to get something to use as diff. Spacer.:eek:
