    I'm still waiting for that one. :laugh:

    None of these rumors started until that one guy crashed his race truck back in like 09. After that, people just invented new reasons to dislike them. :rofl:

    I am interested in why the second gen is different than 1st and 3rd. What makes it "pointless" on 2nd gen only?

    They do help a tiny bit. Not much, but a little.

    KNEW you were gonna chime in at some point :D

    I don't think having it in there really hurts anything, but it surely doesn't help anything. It doesn't drop the Diff at all. It just rotates it.

    Fake news, look at the angle the camera was at in 2nd pic. Remove it on 2nd Gens or don't ever install it. Here is my cvs at a full 3".

    Well that's definitely proof. :confused:

    I'm going to install a diff drop on a 2gen and place an angle finder on the cv before and after. I'm sure it will still be "fake news", but at least I won't just be spreading rumors like a bad case of herpes without a valtrex prescription. :hattip:

    You will lose about a half inch or less in angle,with the drop kit,since it just angles the diff down a tiny bit in the front.

    It only lowers the inside cvs by 1/8 of an inch.
