Going to have to disagree here buddie. I just finished my 4.78 gear swap and did the diff drop at the same time, and it did not diminish the off road capabilities, if anything it has improved them, because the angle of the CV upon down flex is much less severe and will break less easily, and it does not decrease your ground clearance, it really just protects your oil pan and other things from being the 1st things hit. Diff drops are not an aesthetic mod, but a reliability mod, both off and on road![]()
