    I'm debating if I should remove my diff drop kit or keep it????? I hear alot of negative reviews here but on YouTube I see alot of people installing it. I have a 3inch suspension lift with belstein 5100 and oldman emu spring 2885

    Since you already have it installed,leave it in,it doesn't hurt anything,but doesn't do much either.
    The biggest draw back of Diff drop kits,is it lowers the rear of your skid plate,which becomes a big hazard if you run over a big rock or something.

    I've have a similar setup with 885's and the OME nitrochargers, but no diff drop. No issues without it. If you're not concerned much about bottoming out I'd leave it alone. I like the additional clearance for some of the places I roam on the Big Island.

    Mahalo musubi. That the answer i was looking for. I just change my axles with the reinforce cv boot from napa. The said the boot is stronger and harder to rip. I wanted to take the diff drop so I can get better ground clearance.
