    Even though I have a cheap source of third party driveshafts, I'm going to do a diff drop (and rotate the front axle a little bit towards transfer case).

    Search for "lift wiki" on this site and you will find a thread with everything you will ever need. I would post the link but I am on the PS3 currently.

    Here's the linky

    http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...ight=lift+wiki

    Can't believe I beat ldub to this one.

    I have the Calmini lift on mine (according to PO). I have no complaints. The one thing I did notice on mine is that it includes a panhard rod drop bracket. I'm not sure it's necessary but some owners have noticed a shift in the the rear axle (to the right) after lifting. This may be the 'fix' for that but the consensus is still out.

    I can help you with the Diff Drop Brackets but so can Joe Darlington (I think he's a member).

    Tom

    If you lift - please get rims with 'offset from hell' so I'm not alone

    all i did is lift with the 912 and crank the bars but u could put sum tallr bump stops on yer rear end cause sumtimez when ur off road u might bottom out in the rear and yer tires will rub on the inside of yer weel wells wich kinda suks other than that i think u will be ok with just the ome if i do ne else i will add taller bump stops k thanx bye :bgwp:
