    thats a negative ghost rider, the differential has to stay about even with the center of the wheels, just the way it works

    Ditch the bracket and get LT if you want good lift/clearance/looks.

    Lift kit is to clear larger wheels for more ground clearance. Just get bigger tires. If you wanna see how the military solved the ground clearance prob, check out the humvee's. They have a drop gearbaox at each wheel.

    drop bracket lift.

    Only way to fix it is to remove the lift and go back to a 3" lift.

    Or you could cut it all out and put a solid axle up front ($$$$)

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Put bigger tires on it..thats your only option.

    Really tho..the DB lift is pointless. LT is the only option as it gives about 4.5'' of front lift. But LT isn't really "lifting" the truck. Its just increasing wheel travel. Just happens to lift the truck..or something. What ever you do don't go saying to a LT guy that LT is a lift haha

    All in all...3'' suspension lift and 33'' tires will take you pretty much over 95% of stuff..

    I'm surprised some company hasn't come up with the humvee spindle option for some of the popular trucks, keep the price below 1k and I think it would be a winner.
