DIY Front Diff Drop Kit

Has anyone made their own front diff drop kit? Seems like you could easily go to your local hardware store and get some longer bolts, a few grade 8 washers and skid plate bolts for about $5 and do this. I think I need a diff drop kit and most places want ~$40+ after shipping, seems a bit over priced for what it is.

 

More havoc occurs from installing the drop than leaving it off IIRC

 

Interesting, I never heard that before. Well the nice thing about a do it yourself kit is, you could do a 1/2 drop kit, and only drop the diff about 1/2 the distance that the off the shelf kits drop it, maybe giving you the best of both worlds.

 

2nd Gen diff drops only rotate the diif not drop it and can cause problems.
Search diff drop for more info.

Thanks, and wow, didnt even think about that, I thought Diff Drop Kits were very widely accepted around here with 2.5" to 3" lifts. Guess I was wrong.

 

Only on first gens

 

Is the drop kit good for a 95.5 Tacoma? I have 4 inch suspension and 2 inch body lift...35 inch mts
