Diff Drop help needed asap

[TheMekanik]

Trying to install a 1" diff drop kit in a 16 sierra all terrain. Looks like the diff is going to contact the electric steering motor if I bring it down any. (I know I will have to either notch the crossmeber or shave the diff down) Anyone run into this? Running a combo of bilsteins and 2" spacer for 3" total in the front.

 

THANK YOU

Just installed mine and the only clearance problem I'm having is the crossmember.

It was close, but it fit. I dimpled the crossneber and shaved the ear on the diff.

Got a picture of the power steering contact your talking about? My diff is knocking into the crossmember making it feel like I have a blown strut. Will be taking a sledgehammer to it next weekend. If that doesn't work then I'm stuck cutting a hole in it like the rough country kit. At that point I might have some extra metal welded in to reinforce the crossmember.

I'll get one. There's about 3/16-1/4" of gap between the steering motor and the extension on the diff. Just enough room to push the connectors back in place

How hard was it to get those spacers in?

 

Is there any way you can take a picture of the area where you installed the diff drop spacers?

 

Thanks

Look up the tuff country 3.5 inch lift. They have very detailed instructions and pictures of installing the same type of diff spacers

I can't seem to find those detailed instructions, maybe it's cause I on a phone; but their website sucks.

 

Do you have a link to those instructions.

 

Thanks
