    Question about a Diff drop. I recently picked up a used excellent condition eibach stage 1 lift. I believe the snap ring is set to the bottom perch and has a 1 inch spacer on top to achieve 3in lift for the front. My question is diff drop needed as well as carrier bearing drop?


    thanks

    I'd skip the diff drop. I installed one but took it off when I couldn't mount the skid plates I'd bought later. The diff drop made no difference in the ride.

    I did need to add spacers to my carrier bearing to get better angles on my drive shaft to reduce vibrations.

    Diff drops don't do too much to help but at 3 inches of lift you might start blowing CV boots.
    Carrier bearing drop has to do with how lifted the rear is. What do you have for a rear lift?
