    Quite a few members have experienced split CV boots after lifting. That's what the diff drop brackets are for. You don't need them immediately but probably will within 2 years.

    I thought about rotating the axle by rotating the axle mounting features on the diff drop brackets but I talked myself out of it. I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep the U joints in phase (the front would be at a slightly different angle than the rear).

    if you want 912's, you need to be willing to wait. Ordered mine from rocky road on oct. 26th and still haven't received them. Called today, they say beginning of the year. Where else can these be ordered?

    Yeah, it took a while for mine to show up as well back in April. I think I ordered and waited about a month then...so now it seems worse.

    I make a habit of supporting vendors who support Isuzu, & by that I mean, they develope/make available, suspension, gearing, recovery gear, etc. that you can't get anywhere else that I'm aware of.
    You'll pay a few dollars more, but I'm pretty sure Matt carries an inventory ready for shipment...give him a call, he's good people.
