Lift question/CV damage

I am not familiar with Readylift. By "3 and 2" do you mean inches?

 

OK, so I am reading about this: I guess it means your front is up 3"?

 

Yes 3” front lift 2” rear lift

 

The differential support bracket pulled the bolt through and dropped the dif down to the skid plate

 

Do the diff drop. For what it cost and the level of difficulty it is extremely cheep insurance against future more costly and expensive repairs.

 

...and this is why lift spacers are not mmmkay

 

Just making a right hand turn? Naaahhh

 

Couldnt this have happened with no spacers (eg a coilover lift)?

 

theoretically yes, but this as well as blowing the lowers off shocks are exactly why spacer lifts suck,

 

Same. No issues

 

1 - 2" range you will be fine. 2.5 - 3" and you're pushing it. Anything over 3" you're going to tear boots for sure and break axles in 4wd.

On my 1st gen the diff drop did next to nothing at all, wasn't worth the $20 I paid for it. Only thing that got me to stop tearing boots was to lower the front end to about 2.25".

 

3 inches, no issues.... except for unbeatable driveline vibes but that's rear end related so

 

The problem wasn’t the lift, that’s an assumed cause. The Tacoma didn’t have a steel plate on the differential bracket. The differential had a drop spacer but the factory forgot to add the steel plate. Fully covered and fixed by Toyota

 

I am about to put Toytec/Eibach Coilovers for a 2" lift in the front... on the fence about installing a diff drop from reading about the ups and downs of them on here...
