Here are some pics of my rig.... just did the lift. Kings upfront (got a killer deal on them, thanks Andy!) adjusted to about 2.75" and in the rear, Wheelers 1.5" AAL with Bilstein 5100's. Nice feeling ride, took it to the desert for some fast trails and drove nice... a little stiffer on road but good.... need to find a welder to mount my Stubbs sliders!!!! Those chrome step bars need to go! Oh yeah rims and tire next.... think i will go with a similar setup to Keisur. You guys think the boots are ok? not too close together?

 

I can hear your CV's screaming from here...

Remined me of my CV's when I had OME 882's up front. However, my boots were leaking badly, and it looks like yours aren't.

 

:pat:
Not the response I wanted to hear, but oh well, think a diff drop will help out much?

 

Sorry if that came across too negatively, it does look great. But at 2.75", you're probably beginning to push the limits what the joints can handle.

Every rig is different, there are plenty of people that run higher in front like you are, unfortunately for me my CV boots couldn't handle it or else I'd still be running the 882's instead of 881's.

A diff drop will give back some breathing room to your CV's. Its also cheap and easy to install, I'd definitely recommend it.

Bottom line: enjoy your lift, just keep an eye on the boots. You could always throw a big bumper and winch on there to help push things back down!


Oh and welcome to the forums too....are you coming to Pismo?

 

Do you know where I could get a Diff drop? Or how to make my own... I called Central 4WD and Off Road Warehouse, both said they had no clue what it was (I had read somewhere on here that Revtek makes a kit).

I am thinking of going to Pismo, trying to convince the girlfriend to go , if she doesnt want to go I may go alone....

 

Call Mike at Xtreme Off-Road, he's a member here and can get you a Revtek diff drop kit, along with all kids of other goodies! I got mine from him.

Good luck with the g/f...
