    Good info guys, I wasn't trying to start a crap storm, just wanted to better understand why the diff drop should or should not be used for a 2nd Gen.

    It means your shock extends as far as it will go. The rear shocks might not be tall enough for the 3" rear from Allpro. Listen to Downsouth, they know their stuff. Did they recommend an alternative product?

    alot of metal, small engine, decent travel.
    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc
    so i know this is for a second gen, but for a 1st gen, does the diff drop do any good?

    6"lift procomp with 2 in lift struts custom alcan 8" leafs in the rear bilstein shocks
    Yup the reason being i still wanted play with the front struts and didn't want to have a stiff ride..... this way the lift struts just act like normal struts with the three inch spacer on top of the 5100 series lift strut. The lift strut is in the stock position.

    But your struts will bottom out before you hit the bump stops because you just spaced them down. If you don't off road you'll be fine but seems like a waste of money buying 2 lift kits for the front...

    Read below, because he nailed it.

    Here's a visual of what happens when you move the shock down without modifying the bumpstop to restrict uptravel. With top plate spacers this happens on potholes in the road, not just when wheeling:

    I was searching something and my 6 year old daughter saw this and said "Why did he let that happen? He must not care about it if he let that happen." I just laughed...be glad your pain is humorous to others.:D
