Differential Drop and Sway Bar Drop???
So I've searched and still can't find the answer.

I have an 11' SR5, all I want to do is level it. 2-3 in front. I see some leveling kits with with differential drop and sway bar drops, at what point are they needed, if at all.

Thanks, Shep

I've read that if you are lifting 3" or higher, you should drop the diff. This reduces your CV angles.

Not sure about the sway bar drop.

Up to 3" you are fine. I'm not aware of a commercially available lift giving more than 3". Above that you are getting into custom territory and anything goes, along with your wallet.

So I guess my next question then, is there ant issues if I get a 2 1/2" leveling kit that has the differential and sway bar drop and install them?

Skip the diff drop, it is not needed.
