Im about to go get the snake axle relocation plates for the runner so my 35's clear the back of the guards and to move the diff away from my sump a bit. Ill probably move the diff forward 1". I know i need an adjustable torque rod which ill grab but will i need a dropped drag link? I believe it currently has a 2" sus lift in it with 35"s. Any other ideas on the best way to attack it on this truck? Obviously it is a solid axle.
Thanx for your help!

The easiest way is to go X-over steer. Piss the torque rod off. Waste of money. It will stop it flexing if you have one. You can go a dropped drag link but you will have to shorten it if you move the diff forward.
If you a doing alot of 4x4ing you will get the shits with it as you will have the steering wheel ripped out of your hands alot (keep your thumbs on the outside on the wheel)
.
Hope this helps.
