Question Sonoransteel's Diff drop vs. the competitors

I was looking at the "tapered 1" differential drop spacers" by Sonoran steel and i was wondering if anyone thinks or knows if they are any better than Toytec's version as an example, or any other competitor???

Let me know your thoughts! thanks...

The angled diff drop makes sense, but I haven't had any problems with mine, nor anyone else who has used a regular cylinder-type drop.

yeah i got toytec diff drop spacers on.... no problems either except i did about a week after i installed the 3" lift!!! CV's were slinging grease everywhere but i used a set of hose clamps to solve that little issue.. it was a very simple fix.

I did a toytec diff drop and it didn't really DROP the diff... i just rotated it... and i think its not because its toytec but more because the back of the diff rests on the crossmember... i just put up a thread asking about it if you want to subscribe
