    i'm just curious about something.. i have a 2 inch strut spacer on my truck no diff drop. i want 285's and 17's so i was gonna go to a 3 inch leveling kit in the front and a 1 much diff drop but i don't want negative camber i want my front wheels to stay straight but is 3 inches with a 1 inch diff drop not gonna have everything at the same angle as 2 inches with no diff drop?

    A diff drop isn't going to effect anything but where the differential sits relative to the center of the truck. 3inches up front is just about max and you'll need a serious alignment.

    Just do a little trimming and pinch weld mod and its possible to clear 33s with no lift.

    Diff drop only lowers front of diff. Actual cvs get lowered about half an inch

    Its possible to align the front end at 3" to where you shouldn't get any tire wear but to get the same "driveability" back youl need ucas.

    Oh. And do yourself a favour and get rid of the spacer lift for something better.
