Diff drop brackets (for IFS) - WHY????

[chikoroll_]

in an IFS the diff already sits higher than a solid axle, and the crossmembers usually sit at around the same height anyway- the diffdrop is around 50mm maximum, and this usually still sits above the crossmember height, so no, you do not lose any ground clearance

Diff drop lowers the diff and changes the cv shaft angle

This is a Diff drop bracket, balljoint spacers, and low profile bumpstops
(2x diff drop brackets, 2x balljoint spacers, 2x bump stops - ignore the other 2 diff drop brackets and the tie rods)


Dropped IFS lift kit lowers the entire Independent front suspension- A-arms and all, cv shaft stays stock standard angle

This is a Dropped IFS lift kit:

Utemad, not all IFS use torsion bars but lifting any of them can start to place the CV's at an unfriendly operating angle if pushed too far.

Yep I know.

thats all well and good .. how much higher is the diff centre off the ground in a live axles equipped 4x4 is the same when the suspension is compressed to the bumpstops as it is when it's at full droop ... it remains realitively static unlike an IFS where the clearance my be anywhere between 40cm or 15cm ..

I know that too. That is one of the reasons I have a solid axle both ends vehicle now
Although it still won't be the diff that grounds. It will be a cross member.
