Differential drop brackets

[Ldub]

Hey, I'm just sayin'...

It would be something I'd consider if trying to decide how much of a drop I was going to be fabbing.(somewhere between 1-1/2 & 3" as posted earlier)

Thats why one day I'll be SAS'd!
By the way THIS PLACE sells drop brackets and a lot of other things for the VX...you just have to be able to decipher the Japanese language!

Mmmm...I dunno...I kinda shy away from buying anything from a place where all the part numbers begin with POS.

**Translated** ...somewhat... and good luck with the prices. that drop bracket is a bit more than $400+shipping from Japan.

Also keep in mind the front drive shaft does not have any kind of slip-yoke to adjust length. If the front diff is dropped too much you will need a spacer machined or a custom shaft. The front shaft does not use typical u-joints either, so changing the angle of the shaft can induce some vibration. Mine did with a 2" front diff drop. I helped it a little by making the mounting holes on the drop brackets alter the pinion angle a few degree, but it was still there.

OK, I'm about to go out and start taking stuff apart, and I think I may just shoot straight for 3", I will probably have to make up a spacer for the driveshaft though, how did you solve this vibration issue with yours?

I wired in a TOD disconnect switch/relay that has been posted here and that got rid of about 90% of the vibration.

OK, real quick then, I'm no electro whiz, so how hard/involved was that TOD disconnect to wire in?
