    I was quoted $800 in labor to install the Toytec Ultimate Kit on my 2014 DCSB, including the diff drop and new UCAs. Also includes a 4 wheel digital alignment, and a re-torque of everything after 30 days.

    Is that a decent price?

    Hell no, although I have installed more for a case of beer :anonymous: I would make a thread and have a mod meet. What is going on the rear? AAL?

    I wouldn't say more harm, they are more defined as useless since the CVs stay the same angle cause it only rotates the diff and doesn't drop it.

    Yup, AAL on the rear. I did a body lift on my Ranger and I'm pretty sure I could handle this myself. My neighbor has a 72 Nova race car, he has jack stands and a floor jack I can borrow.

    I've read hundreds of pages of posts on the diff drop. I know a few guys who did it, and some who didn't. I'm putting it in.

    I'm debating going with a similar kit. Called a couple places and they charge $600+. Honestly it might be worth it to just buy the tools and do myself
