Anyone Mentioned a Diff Drop yet?

[darkscion0]

Seems like the major limiting factor with lifting the Broncos, especially with the Sasquatch package, is the level of droop and binding the CV joints on the axles. I confirmed a while ago that RCV is making an axle shaft set that would probably improve this but the ultimate fix would probably be a differential drop. I've not really see much of the front diff setup so I have no idea if it would be even possible, but has anyone seen any company mention working on one?

Just watched it. I guess if they're talking lifts > 4", they'd have to do some sort of diff relocation.

Honestly I don't see a need, unless you want a huge lift and 22s. It's fitting 37s with 3-4 inch coilover. You never want to lower the drivetrain down

Well for one, doing just a diff drop and a spacer lift would be a fraction of the cost to get 37s on a Sasquatch as opposed to getting new coil overs.

What do you consider the negatives of dropping the drivetrain?

I agree for keeping cost down. It Depends on what the vehicle is being used for.

If your going offroad with it you want to keep the drivetrain high away from being damaged. But then comes in skid plates to protect. Also with a diff drop your increasing drivshaft angle.

I guess we just wait and see what becomes available over the years and how everyone is using their bronco

There is a fine balance of ground clearance, and dropping the diff to keep CV angles useable. Until someone comes out with high angle CV's, and they will be hella expensive.
