ToyTec kit questions

I'm going to get the TTBOSSTAC-2005 kit with Dakar leaf springs. Is the differential drop kit worth it and should I forgo the aluminum bump stops for Timbren bump stops?

I've seen on here before where people say the differential drop kit can cause more harm than good which seems odd to me. ToyTec seems to have a good rep and wouldn't it be engineered to work with the kit?

 

If you do a full 3 inch lift, it is recommended to have one installed just to make sure your cv joints are at a good angle. It just depends on the vehicle sometimes as well and whos aligning everything. If you have any questions just give me a hollar I actually work at toytec!

Depends on how you plan to use it. Threw mine in the trash years ago without even installing it.

I think they would fit pretty will in the cab for the seat spacer mod actually. MUCH more practical mod...

Seat spacers sound cool except I'm 6'4"... I don't plan to do any crazy wheeling, but I do want to be capable if the opportunity arises. I feel like diff drop kit gets in the way if you have after market skid plates and are a serious wheeler. Is that true?

 

Yes.

It also angles the diff so the internals become less properly lubricated. Skip it.
