Do I need diff drop and/ or panhard drop?
Looking for some advice. I am doing a very mild lift on my 99 T4R. I have front 99 tall springs and will be adding Toytec 1/4 in spacers. In the rear I'm doing OME 906's with 10mm spacers. Bilstien HD's at all 4 corners.
Very mild lift. Just trying to figure out if it's worth it to do the front diff drop and/or panhard drop too. What donyou guys think? I'm running Duratracs 265/75/16.

No need for Diff Drop or Panhard Drop until you get ~3" or more lift.
Just get it aligned after installation of new components.

Yeah, any taller than the 99 talls and I would say the diff drop would be ok, but you really don't need it with that since it is still stock.
No need for the panhard drop either.
4.5 in lift with no diff drop in the front? 4.5 isn't even possible with the stock IFS? I hope you mean only 4.5 in the rear, not the front.

I got the diff drop just cause. can't hurt and might even give me a longer CV life.
I only have the 882 fronts (installing this week) 890's in the back
might could get away with out it, but I got it anyway.

I've got the toytec ultimate which give about 3" inches. I'm not running a panhard drop and it rides just fine. Still haven't put my diff drop in for some reason, but my CV angles look good.

This sounds like exactly the lift I have. It will look good. The Bilstien's with the 906's might be alittle stiff.

You actually gave me the idea to do this set up. I've had good luck with Bilstiens in the past, hoping they work out with this set up too.
