More Differential drop?

Right now my front end is quite high, and my CV boots are at some dangerous angles. I already have a 1" DD spacer on there. I was wondering if I could add another .5" maybe .25" to it already.

What problems would I run into If I added a larger DD spacer?

I was planning on buying a few washers an adding it with the RB spacer.

Here, once again of a pic of my CV boots:

I'm 99% sure that some company was selling 1.5" spacers, so they should work. The only issue I see is the crossmember being in the way...give it a try!

Do you notice any CV vibrations? I have my SAW's up way toooo high, and I'm getting a terrible vibration.

i used the washer stack method when i did the taco, i undid the two front mounting bolts, and pulled the diff down as much as possible and spaced it out that amount, works fine for me

I think im going to try that.

Just adding another .5" would be cool...or how ever much I can add w/o hitting my crossmember.

SC did you try this? how did it work out and what did you use to lower the diff more? how much lower were you able to go?
