3" toytec lift rear differential drop question....

hey everyone i have an 08 tacoma prerunner, double cab, TRD offroad. i am getting a 3" toytec lift but im a little confused on if i need a rear differential drop or if that even exsists...? i dont know if thats only for a 4WD or how exactly it all works. but if someone could give me a little insight on the subject it would be extremely appreciated. THANK YOU!

 

thats only for 4x4

 

you have a prerunner...so no diff drop is needed...as its for front diffs of 4x4...and the prerunner doesnt have a front diff.

 

yea and the diff drops are for the front anyways to try and relieve stress put on the cvs

 

but it does have the rear locking diff. regardless though wont it wear out by CV joints pretty quick without some sort of drop? just like it would a 4x4?

 

Locking rear diff is in the REAR where there is a SOLID axle....no CV joints. And the front has no CV joints/axles...Because there is no drive parts up in the front.

So nope. Might need a carrier bearing drop and or axle shims to adjust that rear end angle- but that's different from the front diff drop.

 

cool thank you all for the information and clearing that all up for me.
