    See attached picture. This is the passenger side mount for the front Diff. The truck already has a 3" spacer lift on the front. Is this diff mount spacer stock or is this a diff drop spacer?

    I am removing the stock coilovers + spacers and replacing with 3" adjustable coilovers. At that time I would install a diff drop, if it hasn't already been done.

    I am just asking for someone to take a look at their diff mounting points on a vehicle that is known for fact to have a diff drop installed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Awesome. Thanks for the quick replies. The spacer lift, rear block, and diff drop were done by the previous owner. I'm ordering parts for the front, now I can check diff drop off the list. Thanks again.

    Was not pretty, I have a post about it somewhere. I had to leave out the center 3 bolts, because i had to add spacers on the back end of the TRD skid and have a bull bar mount that acted as a spacer up front. I wanted the pro skid for protection from road debris over the sheet metal skid Toyota provides more than anything else. If you plan on wheeling where there is rock or you would be putting a lot of the trucks weight on the skid, I would recommend looking into the RDI skid plate system. @Sean266 has the full RDI system with diff drop and can install all the bolts.
