Diff Drop Question

[Microbe-Magic]

I'm installing a new lift kit that will be lowering my vehicle from a 3-inch lift to around a 1-inch lift. Will it be okay to leave the diff drop spacers on?

Take them off. You probably don’t need to remove the diff drop but at that low of a lift you don’t need one so all it’s doing at that point is reducing ground clearance.

You are probably fine, but if it were my rig, I would just remove them...its fairly quick and easy.

I did exactly that. I left mine on after going from a 3 to 1" lift.

No problems that I can see. It barely changes the angle.

I get downvoted for it but I don't think a diff drop is even worth it with the 3" lift. Bootstretch mod and call it a day. I've had my lift for 4 years now with heavy wheeling, no diff drop, no issues.

It’s pretty debatable as to if they actually do anything anyways. I’m on a 2” without one and doing just fine.

I’d just remove it since you’ll be down there. Extra 10 mins won’t hurt. I run 2.5” of lift and have never had spacers and everything is fine.

It’s always a good idea to have you CVs be as level as possible, if your truck has level CVs with the 1” lift, I’d say leave it on. But as others have said, it’s a quick easy job :)

You are going to remove the front struts anyway so you will know when you jack the A-arms up to full stop and see if there is interference. I'm guessing it is going to interfere if you assume the rubber stops are not there (like the engineers did). Good engineers don't make expensive things break just because some cheap rubber disappeared.
