lookin good

BennyTRD · 02-17-2005, 04:37 PM

That looks very nice. I have a few questions though. What kind of lift is that an how much higher did you go??? Is it just your basic new spring/strut combo?? I appologize if this is a noob question to all of you but I am just getting into all of this. Thanks.

No problem...and welcome.

The lift is a combination of Tundra TRD Coils and Old Man Emu (OME) N91S in the front and OME 891 coils and N86 shocks in the rear. I got a little over 3" from stock and a 1000% increase in ride quality. Check this thread for all you ever wanted to know and more!

No diff drop...I'm 2wd. I do go offroad, just not to the extent that I could in 4wd, but it serves me well for the trails I drive. I am waiting to drop the panhard bar before I really go get her dirty. As for the brake lines. I ordered an e-brake bracket from SS. The ride gets better all of the time. I have driven about 500 miles with the new suspension and well...

Not quite.....although it may not sound logical, the 1" drop does actually bring it back close to stock angle.
The geometry on the truck is such that it is not an inch for inch type of situation.

On a 2wd no diff drop is needed, just a panhard drop.
I do highly suggest both on a 4wd though.

bamachem · 02-18-2005, 06:24 AM

no... diff drops are usually 1". that's all you need. i have a 2" sus lift and i still have a 1" diff drop to reduce stress on the CV's

I am not sure about the diff drop. You can read more about it here:

hope this helps you dib.

GodwinAustin · 02-18-2005, 06:59 AM

well some people dont think the Diff Drop is such a good idea...heres a quote from Bajatacos site - lots of people have similair feelings in regards to the diff-drop:

The "diff drop" is simply adding spacers (machined aluminum or steel, or even stacked fender washers from the hardware store) between the front differential and the frame, to create more distance between the two. The reason for doing so, is that by lowering the diff on a truck with a lifted suspension, you will decrease the angle of the CV joints on the front axles (half-shafts). Obviously, by doing this, you will also decrease the ground clearance below the differential (this may not matter depending on your skid plate arrangement). Some people may not realize that by lowering the diff, they are also changing the pinion angle of the front drive shaft. It may not be anything significant depending on how much the diff is lowered, but I don't know what kind of effect (if any) this may have over the long term. Another thing some people might not realize, is that while you may be decreasing the angle of the CV joints while the suspension sits level, or is extended, you will actually increase the angle of the CV joints when the suspension is compressed. The diff drop is an easy modification to do, and may be worth considering if you are a person that wants to run their coilover suspension lift at it's limits, creating extreme CV angles. I only run my coilover lift at about 2.5", so I don't really think the diff drop is worth the bother. My CV joints and CV boots have been just fine like this for years with no problems.

GodwinAustin · 02-18-2005, 07:51 AM

Tell me about it man - It is frustrating the build of the front end of our rigs so pansy that we cant lift our rigs 1" without worrying about axle/joint grease spraying all over the place and ruining expensive parts.

The diff drop is praised by some, denounced by others - so its confusing. some people say 'use it' others say 'definetly dont use it' I have one but dont know if I will put it on yet.

SLC Punk · 02-18-2005, 08:20 AM

Looks great!

I am trying to decide if I want to ditch the PP setup and go with this or just add a 1" BL and call it good..

AznSky · 02-18-2005, 08:58 AM

I just received notice that my springs are getting shipped today.

So I'll have a good comparison from the OME's to the Tundra Lift by next weekend *hopefully*

FYI....You can buy these same parts for 1/2 to 1/4 of that price....

Dont be suckered into buying over priced parts that aren't any better.

I paid 28 dollars for my RevTek diff drop kit, and MADE my parking brake bracket for 3 dollars.

$31 the Stegall way...

$80 left side way...

hmmmmmm

your money.

Truck looks good man.

You wouldn't happen to have the exact measurements from before and after the lift would you? From center of rim to fender, etc? I was just wondering how the numbers would compare to mine.
