    I installed a Fox 2.5 lift on my truck last month and adjusted my coilovers to ~2” the other day, front end is sitting at 23” hub to fender. I noticed i have some rubbing in my cv boots and need some input. Should I install a diff drop or should I be fine running my truck like this?

    First picture is passenger side, second is driver side. I went ahead and lowered my coilovers down by two threads, and now theres BARELY a space in my drivers side boot where it was once touching.

    Angle doesn't look bad.. Cut the CV clamp off, pull the boot just a tad so the ribs don't touch and put a small radiator clamp back on. Boot issue solved!

    If your angles are tolerable, no.
