    The drop is only about as much a 1-2 quarters thick- like adding a washer or two.

    Zero issues so far- will see what happens.

    Very true, but what if you did it anyways :anonymous:

    The reality is the best practice and proper way to fix the angle issues is to either measure the angle of the t-case output or the CB angle then match that angle with the input of the rear. Now if you have a driveshaft with a double cardan thow that out the window because set-up is different for those.


    @scottalot if you want to borrow them I have about 20 books on suspension and driveline set up and it has all the geometry and static and dynamic formulas in them. They go from basic to mechanical engineer phd level. and cover pretty much every type of suspension made or at least used in the different types of motorsports.

    Will it help :notsure: butt dyno seems to say yes. Will it introduce misalignment into the system, absolutely.

    Diff drop that's for the front :rofl::rofl::rofl:. If you drop the rear diff anymore your truck will be getting higher!

    :notsure: Smooth as silk...

    absolutely introduced misalignment with all the non oem suspension components, full Dakar pack.

    Butt dyno says alignment, if no vibes. I read all the pro's and con's. Not doing a diff drop though.

    @SC2SC went to a killer butcher in NJ when I went to visit my sis and bil. Found out they do mail order as well. Owned by a polish family that does everything in house. I can get you their phone # and find out how that works if you want. They make really good anduillie sausage

    For those of us from SoCal a lot of the hills seem steep but can be accomplished.
    I know a lot of drivers get sketched out with things get rocky and sandy and slippery.
    Momentum is key and once you stop it's always sketchy getting going again especially
    when you are headed up hill.

    Lesson learned?? Don't take advice from a Mexican wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat. :rofl:
