    The diff drop is a custom thang. Member Joe Darlington can set you up.

    If you go CalMini, keep us posted on how you like it.

    If you don't do the diff drop right away, keep a close watch on those CV boots. If one tears, don't wait ... replace it immediately. You don't want to replace those 1/2 shafts too.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    Absolutely no reason to get the Calmini lift kit. All the additional parts are not needed, but can be purchased separately from Indy4x at a later date if you want.

    But yes after a spring lift and torsion crank (2-3" suspension lift) a 2-3" diff drop is the next most important thing. After that adjustable lower links would be #2 most important (to correct pinion angle and decrease driveline vibration on the highway).

    Then after those mods the optional bits in the Calmini kit are next, but not required.
