Limit on Lifts for Diff Drop

[bradentyrer]

How much lift can I do without needing to do a diff drop? I saw someone mention 3". I'm curious if I need one for a 3/2 spacer lift or a 2.5/1.5 lift.

Thanks

if youre doing a spacer lift, it can depend on how many miles you have on the factory suspension. i have over 100k and with a 3/2 spacer lift my cv's are perfectly horizontal. the limit is usually about 3", but your best bet is to peruse the suspension faq thread.

That's good - I'm probably going with the Daystar 2.5". Mine has 165,000 too.

My DS 2.5/1.5 made the CV's perfectly horizontal though that didn't stop a bit of grease from spitting out of the passenger inner.

A quick trip to West Marine cured that with the quickness... :naughty:
