    I just recently put 5100s with 2887 coils on my 2007 tacoma 4wd. 5100s are on the lowest setting. I already have a front diff seal leak. Is it just a fluke or did I lift it too much?

    Its possible that diff seal was on its last legs anyway and that any change at all would have caused a leak.

    But hey, perfect time to also do the ECGS bushing when you fix that seal! Both are fairly easy to DIY if you have the right tools. If not, ask your garage to do the bushing because a new diff seal is usually included in the process.
