    Just got a 2018 TRD-Offroad from a dealership. It's at the stock lift height. Took it in to get some work done and the mechanic said the truck was lifted at some point and then reversed because the front differential is lower than it should be. I plan on lifting it at some point but don't have the funds for it right now. Is it bad for the truck to leave the differential lowered or should I get it raised to stock specs until I can lift it again?

    Thank you @Dalegribble02 - Alright then I'll get it reversed. Especially if it's not needed for a lift down the road. It was like that when I puchased it so I'll have the dealership handle it. According to the mechanic it never should have been sold like this anyway.

    It's take like 20 MI s to remove it. Remove skid plate then remove bolts on fro t diff pull spacers out reinstall bolts put plate back on.
