Front Diff Drop?

[TTurner]

I have a question.... So I have decided that I am going to buy a top out spacer lift for my 4runner. My question is should I purchase the stuff to do the diff drop as well? because my only concern is to to much spacer lift putting the cv axles in really extreme angles. What do ya'll think?

It's not really necessary for a 1" or 2" spacer lift. The diff drop is more important if you are going with a 3" suspension lift.

I think I'm gonna go with the daystar 2.5/1.5 kit. But if i decide to go with a bigger lift down the road i should do it than?

It certainly doesn't hurt to do the diff drop kit with a 2" lift. The 4th gen 4Runners have a little negative angle on the CV's from the factory, so a 1" lift levels out the CV's and a 2" lift has a little positive angle to the CV's. You could certainly do the diff drop kit now but I don't think it's necessary. If you ever go to a full 3" suspension lift, I would definitely recommend the diff drop kit.
