    Yes, kings 2.5 up front. About 2.5-3 lift. I also have the diff drop spacer too.

    Random stuff. Oh! and converted to non ADD 4x4.
    Bring it to 2” and ditch the diff drop. Get the droop/performance you paid for.

    2014 Tacoma SR5 4x4 DC SB V6 AT Tow Pkg Entune+ Mostly stock with a few OEM mods.
    Stock (99.999%) OEM Bed Floor Mat, Front Bed Rail Cargo Net and hooks, Auto-Dim mirror w/Compass and outside Temperature display, TRD Pro Grille, Uni-Filter air pump modification, WeatherTech floor liners f/r. OEM All-Weather floor mats (summer).
    Just wanted to add: it's not your fault....you didn't do anything wrong. Needle bearing imploded as they are known to do.

    Take your time and remove all the debris in the diff with a telescoping articulated magnet tool or equivalent. Clean the plug, fill the diff, and give it a gentle run up the driveway and back. Check the plug and do this until no more debris is collecting. It's worth doing this procedure as if you were a meticulous brain surgeon. The diff is stupid expensive if you have to replace it.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld. :thumbsup:

    Man that looks awful. Hopefully you can get them all out and salvage the front diff.
