Default Diff drop spacer

How hard is it to install the diff drop spacer? Also what is the largest size drop I can use while still keeping the factory skid plate? Today I found another cv boot leaking and I have only had this 2.5" daystar lift for about a year now. I really need the diff drop. I am thinking about taking off my lift but cant find my factory rear shackles. Does any one have their factory shackles to sell? I am going to buy coilovers in the future but I might go to stock until I can afford them.

he says that because some people have said that they have no or so little effect that you might as well not do them.. Because you can not drop them that muc. But I say any is better then none and could solve your problem so why not try it for only a few bucks! Just go for it and see if it helps you. RED

I have between 2.75 & 3"'s of lift on my 03,have no diff drop and have yet to see any problems with well over 25,000 miles on it since the lift. Like Red said put it on and see if it helps if you already bought it what have you got to lose.
