    I am currently running a 4" tuff country DB lift and my CV angles are completely wrong. What are my options on correcting this?

    Did you do a diff drop when you put it on? I just recently (last week) ordered a lift for my 98 tacoma, and after I had ordered it I noticed that the kit did not come with a diff drop. I was concerned about this and called up Tuff Country and asked why that was, and if I could order one. The guy told me that the applications that were using the diff drop were 40/60. 40% need the diff drop, and 60% do not. I went ahead and ordered one for the additional $30, so this makes me question if your one of the 60% that does not need the diff drop, resulting in a very weird CV angle...

    Since the CV axle is going UP towards the wheel, I wonder if they left out the shock extender???

    Lol drop the bracket 4 inches and leave the c/o assembly the same length. Im thinking your right with that observation. dropping the lca mount like that would cause the suspension to bind in a weird way too. Truck should ride way better when this is resolved.

    Any pics of the truck from farther away?

    Alignment cannot be correct like that either.
