Differential Drop ?

What are your guys thoughts one a front diff drop I have heard alot on both sides. Just curious.

 

Over 3” and I’d consider it. Other than that not necessary

 

It depends on the amount of lift. The more the lift the more it's needed. It helps to lesson the front CV angles and saves wear and tear on the same. Since it lowers the diff it also reduces ground clearance. The ground clearance issue and the increased front driveshaft angles are the negatives.

How much lift?

 

I'm on 2.5 in lift and I've have multiple people say I should. Does it really give you that much more of a flatter axle angle ?

 

I had a front CV go out within 6 months without the diff drop on a 2 1/2" lift. It is possible the CV was already headed on it's way out.

 

Well I had just replaced the CV boots and axles last year about this time. With the all pro boots and idk if it ripped due to wear or I hit something on the road but the inner boot ripped and I had to replace it.

 

I’ve been through 4 boots myself. Diff drop doesn’t seem to do much unless you lift high

 

Well time to solid axle swap then . I guess it's just something to live with. I've gotten use to it. Changed the last two out in 45 minutes.

 

Nice work! (45)

 

Have you tried rebooting with a high angle? You could always try the diff drop. They’re only like $30 haha

 

Dang man. Sucks.

 

Right that's the boot that got the rear I'm it haha the whole set was like 150 so won't be going that route again lol.

 

Just do the boot slide mod https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-cv-boot-mod.190669/
