    Is anyone running a
    TAC-DR-05 - Front Differential Drop Kit from toytec

    with a 3 inch lift. It recommends it from the toytec and isn't $$ I don;t know how hard the install is but it would e worth it if it prolongs the life of the CV joints and front end

    did it give you that much of a drop..... enough were the cv joints are visibly at a slighter angle.. Just dont know if its worth it..
