Need a diff drop kit, any opinions on which one?

[ECT_Gumby]

I realize they are cheap. Just wondering if anyone has had good or bad experience with a particular model or manufacturer?

This is what I'm looking at:
DIfferential Drop Kit for Toyota '95-04 Tacoma, '96-02 4Runner, '99-06 Tundra

Thanks :yo:

I just Installed Toytec's diff drop kit on my runner last week, bolted up easily, no problems. The spacers they give you for your skid plate bolts are nice too.

Put my toytec on Sunday. Took maybe 45mins including pulling the tools out and putting them away.

Thank you was wondering what the extra spacers where for. Lol haven't reinstalled skid plates yet..

My Sonoran Steel one went in fine and seemed good quality. They don't space the skid plate down, they include instructions on where to notch the skid, which I like the idea of to keep a smidge more clearance.

+5 on Sonoran Steel, the spacers are tapered to fit perfect unlike all the others.

Or you can just bolt her up without notching. You loose maybe 1/2" skid clearance. I never noticed a difference.
