What skid plate does the OP have? It's pretty badass! Except I don't modify it to hang up on huge rocks like he did haha

 

glad i came across this thread...

 

Sorry to be "that guy", but I've been researching this a while now and can't seem to find a good write-up concerning the boot clamp mod. Anyone got a link??

 

@Blueitrgsr

 

So after reading 253 post looks like I am returning or cancelling the DD I ordered.
One question what is a boot slide mod?

 

You remove the stock clamp on the inner boot and replace it with a hose clamp to manually adjust the length of the boot so the fins don't rub.

I just installed my OME kit the other day and I noticed the sway bar was making contact with the coil bucket. You might want to get a sway bar relocate and put it on when you do your install.

 

You can see how close they are here.

 

After sway bar relocate.

 

Anyone know the stock bolt numbers?

 

Here ya go

 

One thing not mentioned with the drop kits and front lifts is alignment specs. Wouldn't a 1" diff drop kit help bring the alignment back to factory specs? I only say this because I do have this diff drop kit on my truck. Here is my alignment before and after with diff drop installed. I may not have that extra clearance in front but I like how the truck handles.

 

@Sub-Zero

 

No. Not at all. It has zero affect on wheel alignment.

 

So put the drop kit in,take it out,put it in,take it,what a mess and waste of money if nobody can agree on anything,I put mine in because most everyone here on this site said yes put it on if you are lifting your truck,now its take if off.What gives.

 

Take it off....I don't know anyone who reccomended it for a second gen..
