    No, mine is bone stock. The only change which made it slightly worse was going from the worn out Tokicos to the new Bilstein 4600s.

    I mean if I can get the hole in the bottom of my frame patched, I'd reconsider upgrading to a better setup, but for right now, I don't want to spend a great deal.

    Telling me how I should have properly worded what I wanted to ask, shows an extremely high, estrogen fueled level of sensitivity. Are you post-partum, by any chance?

    Aww, sweetie...I see you dried your tears enough to have me blocked from my own post!

    On the flip side of that, being so sensitive to someone not telling you what you wanted screams "I'm a snowflake"

    That sword cuts both ways.

    EDIT: Actually, not being able to take constructive criticism, or any criticism for that matter, also screams "snowflake". 2 for 2, friend.

    That extra $60 is tough to come by.

    But OP's kit "ain't exactly cheap", so you must be joking if you think anyone can afford that outrageous cost to compensate for their tiny dick. I mean, look at the price! How would you possibly afford that AND a diff drop. Tiny dick is one thing, but tiny dick and broke from buying best of the best top of the line lifts to compensate is just a bad idea. You're just picking on his kit because you're an elitist douchebag who can't read.

    If only that were the case - I’d finally have something nicer than my $700 6112 setup. Thankfully I did read about what to avoid before dropping my hard earned $.

    Kids, Kids... and douchebags, huddle up!!

    The front diff is supported at 3 locations. Popular diff drops only add spacers to the front. Now remember back to your middle school Geometry days: The CV axles, for the sake of easiness, we'll say sit 1/3rd the way between the mounting points. This means that the CV's themselves are only dropped 1/3rd the thickness of the spacers you installed. This also means that the companion flange on the front diff has changed angles and is now pointing more upwards to the transfer case. Ideally, the faces of the companion flanges for the transfer case and front diff should be parallel. If you change the angles you will most likely add vibration to your rig.
    My 2 cents,

    Maybe this is what you're looking for. As far as I've seen, they are all 1" spacers. not very hard to find this information online. I posted a question similar to yours a while back and got no clear answers, it happens. nobody is trying to offend you, they're just dropping whatever input they can. its a forum. if you want clear answers, call any of these companies that make the product, or at least do research.
