    I am planning to put the 3 inch lift back on my truck. does anyone have pictures where to lower the front diff? I saw the four bolts on the top of the diff. wasn't sure if the cross-member or anything else needed to be adjusted.

    4 bolts on the suspension cradle. Then 2 bolts (one on each side) just behind where the cradle mounts on the diff stabilizer. Then you will need to disconnect and fabricate an offset steering link from the steering box to the bellcrank. Then notch the lower engine crossmember to clear the front driveshaft. Probably gonna need some longer vacuum lines for the diff actuator.

    How hard is it to redo the steering link when lowering the diff? I do own I Suzuki but this look like a good place to add the question.

    I'm not sure on the zuki. I've seen where some have lowered the steering box and lengthened the steering shaft.
