    Grey wire and keyless entry. I like stock.
    Twenty (ten per side) 1/2" washers and two 8.5" Grade 8 bolts. Tighten the shit out of them and you're golden. Been running the same for about three years with no problems.

    Look at the bottom left. Those brackets attach your diff to the front cross member. Remove the 2 bolts and replace with longer bolts. The washers install above the front mounting cushions and under the cross member... Thus 'dropping' your diff.
