    So hopefully this is in the right place if not let me know.

    Just installed old man emu 3" lift and a add leaf. Love the ride no vibration as of yet. My question is should I do a 1" diff drop? As of now there is not much of an angle on my cv boot? Lift is on a 13" DCLB. More interested in the cons. Understand the basic benefits of the diff drop are. Was just wondering if I do the drop will I run the risk of creating possible diff vibration with the drop? Also, won't it put my drive shaft at a bit of an angle?

    Tomorrow I will post some pics of my cv boots as it is with the lift.

    Thanks!

    Ahh I misread what you were saying. I thought you meant "no" to running a risk of adding a vibration and having a angle on the drive shaft. Well if there is any issues I can always go back to oem. It took 20 min to install. Why would you suggest not installing the diff drop? Sorry fairly new to all this first tacoma and first lifted vehicle.
