    I got my eyes on this lift kit http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com...with-Bilstein-5100-Front-Coilovers_p_364.html but it says front diff drop bracket. I've been reasearching here And everyone says not to get a drop kit but I don't see it in the picture. So has anyone bought this lift if yes what does it come with. And overall is this a good lift I'm planing to do a a block on the back instead of the aal. Thanks

    The diff drop is those 2 little circle spacers you see and you don't need them. And don't do blocks at least do the single AAL. And I would check on Headstrongoffroad.com before buying first. Marie is great and the prices are usually cheaper and free shipping. @HeadStrong Off-Road Marie help him out :D

    Blocks introduce axle wrap and should be avoided if possible. A single AAL is better than the blocks as mentioned above, if you do a single one, preferably get a long one for better ride. The 3 leaf progressive AAL will give you a better ride than the single AAL.

    Spacers to lower your diff, which you don't need to do.

    I wonder if the diff drop would help with the ongoing needle bearing failures.
