I dont mean to high-jack your thread, but I had one quick question. Im planning on eventually putting a 3 inch body lift on my 2wd. Ive never heard of a Diff Drop kit, do you know if thats something I would have to put on if I wanted just a BODY lift?

p.s. Mine is a 3rd gen.

Im running a 2.5 in lift with out the diff drop. You can definitely do a 3 in. without it. (many people do it) Supposedly it just takes less stress off the cv's.

If you are talking about 3" suspension lift. Yes you need to installed diff. drop to save your cv. And for the body lift you don't need diff. drop.

You dont have a front diff. if its 2wd so no
