RevTek leveling kit

I have been reading, for a few days, on this forum about RevTek leveling kits. I had purchased my 06 Tacoma from the dealership, pre-owned two years ago. It already had a RevTek kit on it, so I thought...."cool". However, how would I know that the proper "adjustment" had been made to the Diff, i.e. lowering. Are there visual tell-tale signs that this was done to my Tacoma? Thanks in advance for the insight. TM

 

There should be one large longtudinal bracket underneath the front differential. On the front side where ti mounts, just above the stock skid plate, you will see a spacer there... if it is lowered. Also, CV angles are ever so slight with a diff drop, pretty close to stock.

 

If it drives fine, no vibrations, drive on mah brotha

 

.....?



CV's will go quickly at full 3" with no drop.

 

look at the angles of your CV's

if theyre angled high, you probably don't have a diff drop


EDIT:

Diff drops don't do anything on 2nd gens

What does "Diff drops dont do anything"? Do you mean, it wont help premature wear? Also, thanks guys for all of the great information.

 

Just looked under my Tacoma, whomever installed the kit didnt install the diff drop spacers. Looks like I will be ordering them this weekend. Lovely.

 

Can you run 33s with this leveling kit? a 3 in the front and 1 1/4 in the back

The Rev Tek (spacer lift) is lowest grade lift available for the Tacoma.

Once you approach 3" of lift on a Tacoma no matter how you do it, issues may arise. Vibrations, bearing noise, CV boot wear, etc.
In a way it's the luck of the draw.

Been reported numerous times that the diff drop kit for 2nd gen Tacoma is of little benefit.
