then you have come to the wrong forum
sorry. I have a problem!! 2004 Double CAB V6 4x4 TRD package. Lift has been on for about a week, I am sure it will settle, but how many inner boots am I going to replace before it settles?
"I wanted to lower front diff but dont think the kits sold will not work, it looks to me like the locking actuator will hit the crossmember if lowered. Can someone verify that the 2 bolt kit will work on the 04, or is it 3 bolts like I am seeing? I am on AIM/cgaengineer or Yahoo IM/cgaengineer, chime in I am up!"
this was your original post and frankly, it's a little confusing. "2-bolt kit/ 3-bolt kit" ?? huh? The kits that you'll see posted about here contain 2 longer 1/2" g8 bolts and nuts and spacer pucks. what 3rd bolt are you talking about? for the OE skid plate?
the only kits available to actually DROP the entire front diff are part of the 'drop-bracket' style lifts like Trail Master, Fabtech, etc. The often quoted, "diff-drop" does not lower the diff but rather pivots down the front of it using the rear mount bolt/bushing as a pivot point. the kits that are on the market are pretty much useless. the amount of change in the inner boots can be measured with a micrometer...yea, it's that small. If your inner boot fins are not jammed together when your suspension settles you won't have an issue. Adding a "diff-drop" kit as a temporary 'fix' until the coils settle will not do any good. You just have to get the truck out and wheel it to get things settled.
