    Have read about people installing front diff drop on 3" greater lifts. I'm getting ready to install new Bili's and plan on setting at 2.5". Is a diff drop cheap insurance or just overkill?

    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.
    Put your 5100's on first and see if you get the vibration first some people do some dont. I dont have any so I did not do one.
