Do TRD Pros have different CV axle angles than SR5s? Or are their diffs dropped?

    Anyone seen a comparison of this? I ask as I wonder if the differential drop is needed for a 2in level in the front on an SR5 TRD. If the stance becomes the same as the TRD Pro, doesn't that mean the diff drop isn't really necessary? I'd imagine Toyota would have lowered the diff a bit on the Pros if the slightly steeper angle was a big deal.

    no I don't think the Pro have it. Up to 2- 2.5" you should be good.

    Nope. Setup is exactly the same as any other oem tundra.

    Thanks! Would you fellas diff drop for 2 inches? Bilstein 6112s in 1.9in lift arrived today. Someone got me the diff drop for xmas, but I don't want to even muck with it if its just excessive.

    I ask as I didn't diff drop my FJ for the first few years and went through a handful of CV axles. It was a 3/1 though.
