I was wondering if anyone had tried to make their own bracket to drop the front diff. After my AAL the tbars did not lift the front enough (safely) to make it close to level. The CV's were replaced already due to the increased angles, so I would like to do something to drop the front diff but don't want to spend even $500 for the Rough Country kit since I don't need the shocks or shackles. Even though the new control arms would be nice since I need new ball joints anyway. But that is off topic, basically I want to drop the front diff down and find new keys for the tbars to try and level it out. If someone has tried this and successfully done so, give me some input on what worked, what didn't, and what you would change if you had to do it again. If I am the first to attempt such a thing, then I guess I will figure it out sooner or later

 

You find somebody willing to spend all that and then measure it for you hollar at me. I doubt you will find anybody that will.

Pretty sure I have everything to easily make the brackets. Plasma cutter would be nice but been getting along this long with a torch....

 

Yeah, figured on that one, but for homemade brackets anyway. I was curious if anyone ever attempted such a thing before without buying the kit to start with. I would actually like to make a set of brackets to drop the diff without notching the old brackets off, if that would be even possible...I haven't had time and a dry spot to crawl underneath the front end yet. If and when I figure something out I will give you a shout. I planned on doing this sometime this winter one way or another, with or without any input

 

I doubt it can be done without hacking the mount off the diff. If it could be I'm sure RC would have done it.
