Adding more diff drop to my rc 7.5" knuckle kit

[Denali62]

I have to do something to better my driveline angles. I'm am just not sure where to get just diff drop brackets and if I'll need a new front driveshaft to make it all work. Anyone have experience with this? My angles are about the same as they were with a 2.5" level and I can feel the cv joints not liking the angle when I put it in 4wd. I've messaged fts(the kit I probably should have got in the first place) and asked if they could just sell me the diff drop and associated parts to make it work.

Subbed. I'm just leveled but the angles suck.

Are you guys also running the rcx strut spacer lift too?

I love the rc kit otherwise. Just needs more diff drop. I will get it figured out even if it means a new driveshaft.

I'm running the 7.5" knuckle kit no extra spacers if that question was directed to me

Just got off the phone w fts they will sell the diff drop and bolts for around 400 I'll let you guys know how it works with the rc kit. I'll have to modify or remove the skid plate most likely. They also said I could use the stock driveshaft

Easy to get ahold of them? If I'm going to get their parts I may as well get their kit

Yeah just call the email on their site does not work. I feel the same wAy and am kinda sick about it.

 

The only reason I didn't go fts was because they would not reply to my emails . One call is all it would have taken.

 

 

But I do feel the rc kit with the fts diff drop is a decent setup. Anyone else care to point out anything else that I might be missing?

I hope this works I've got all kinds of doubt. We will see

Awesome to hear. Sorry you had to learn the hard way but helps the rest of us out.

Glad to contribute. i truly hope this does help out people in the future. myself included

They called back this morning and after talking with their techs it won't work. The fts diff drop is closer to 8". The drops on the rc kit is 5.75 ish.

 

 

I'm gonna make some 3/4" spacers to just get the angle liveable. I can feel the vibration in my steering wheel when I'm in 4wd.
