    doing the headstrong 5100 and 887 coil kit. Wasn't sure if many others running the same have done the diff drop. Just looking to do 2.5" in the front. AAL in the rear.

    Not sure which setting. Haven't received the lift kit yet to look at what's what as far as that goes. I just want 2.5 inches of lift.

    At 2.5", I'd say you wouldn't need the diff drop. Just get the EGCS bushing to avoid the needle bearing vibes.

    887 at 0 notch on 5100 should get you 2.5"

    ^^^ This... instead of a diff drop which does nothing get the Carrier Bearing shim kit.. which is an easy 5 minute upgrade, will get rid of any low speed vibrations... I have the same lift (885s) and Icon AALs.. had a slight vibration and installed the shims problem solved.
