quick question...
if i put my car in 4wd several times a month to do some light to moderate offroading, since i did this lift, should i do the diff drop?

and also how difficult is it to do?

The diff drop is really easy to do, but I could'nt see doing it to my runner, I like the extra clearence. Only problem I have found is the ripping of the cv boots. But like someone else stated, you will need to shim for the droop to keep it from happening.

lengthen the bump stop that keeps the a arms from dropping too far. usually done by adding a few washers.
