Why is a diff drop kit so important? Especially if I have a lift kit?

When you raise or lift your IFS vehicle suspension two inches or more, the Constant Velocity (CV) joint is placed on an increased operating angle which accelerates the wear on the CV joint as well as places additional stress on the CV boots that will lead to splitting and premature failure of the CV assembly. If you have replaced your CV shaft assembly before, then we can all agree that it is crazy expensive! So, to minimise unexpected CV failures to your IFS vehicle, a diff drop kit is needed! We have a decent range of diff drop kits available for your support, look for yours now on our vehicle search.

What is a Diff Drop Kit?

Diff drop kit is in its name, it’s usually a bolt on kit that drops your vehicles front diff that helps in reducing the angle of your vehicles CV once lifted or raised. A diff drop kit is a kit full of spacers or brackets that once fitted prevents unnecessary wear to your vehicles CV. It highly reduces the chance of a broken CV or damage to the CV boots which can cause a huge mess.  

What are the benefits to a Diff Drop Kit?

As we’ve mentioned before, raising your IFS vehicle two inches or more puts unnecessary strain on its CV assembly. A diff drop kit will prevent premature failure to your vehicles CV and will preserve its original driveshaft strength and durability same to when it was at factory / standard height.
