Diff Drop Kits

Upgrading your suspension is one of the best ways to improve your 4WD’s performance and durability, especially for off-road adventures. Whether you're lifting your vehicle or fine-tuning your ride, components like upper control arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers all play a crucial role in handling and comfort.

Diff drops are another important upgrade for lifted vehicles with independent front suspension (IFS).

What are diff drops?

Diff drops are components designed for vehicles with independent suspension. They lower the differential, which connects your wheels and transfers power from the engine.

When you lift a 4WD, the angle of your CV joints becomes steeper, causing wear and strain. A diff drop repositions the differential to reduce these angles. This helps protect your CV joints and improves your suspension setup, keeping your drivetrain running smoothly.

They’re a popular upgrade for 4WD owners who want to lift their vehicle while maintaining reliability and durability, especially for off-road driving.

What is the difference between upper control arms and diff drop?

Upper control arms (UCAs) and diff drops serve different purposes in a lifted 4WD.

UCAs are designed to correct your suspension geometry after a lift. They improve wheel alignment and help with camber and caster adjustments, making your steering more precise and reducing tyre wear.

Diff drops, on the other hand, lower the differential. This reduces the angle of your CV joints, protecting them from strain and wear caused by the lift.
