1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner - Tapered Differential Drop Kit - 1995.5-2004 Toyota Tacoma
1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner - Tapered Differential Drop Kit - 1995.5-2004 Toyota Tacoma
Originally the spacers were cut out of a 2 1/4" wide puck of solid steel. This puck matched the size of the bushing. After cutting my truck up during the Dana 44 conversion, the frame section has a sleeve that supports sleeves in the front differentials leading two bushings. We have re-designed this part, instead of covering the bushings which is not necessary, we now simply extend the frame sleeve down 1" with a taper at one end.
The new spacers are easier to make so a 33% price reduction was implemented. The new spacers are cut from 1/4" wall DOM (drawn over mandrel) tube, which means they have no welded seam. These spacers are considerably thicker and beefier than the frame sleeves. The spacers are marked with a dot for the top and front, this ensures that you will install them correctly and orient the taper in the correct direction.
Included:
(4)-M8 bolts to aid the the re-fitment of the stock skid in the stock un-lowered position.
(2)-spacers
(2)-Grade 8 fine thread bolts
(2)-Fine thread stover nuts
(4)-Washers.
The spacers themselves will be painted black with Rustoleum hammered when you receive them.
Applications: 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner, 1995.5-2004 Toyota Tacoma and 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra
USPS Rate is for USA ONLY! International will be actual cost of Postage.
Take a look and see why the Sonoran Steel Fabrication L.L.C. design is superior. It's more than obvious that the front mounts are not correctly supported with any other option.

(shown below for reference) The spacers are marked with a dot for the top and front, this ensures that you will install them correctly and orient the taper in the correct direction. Included are two spacers, two grade 8 fine thread bolts, two fine thread stover nuts & four washers. The spacers themselves will be painted black with Rustolimum hammered when you receive them. 4 M8 bolts are also included to re-attach the stock skid.
Actual frame section of a 1996-2002 4Runner. Here you can see the sleeve that the bolt goes through. What the diff drop does is extend this sleeve.
Here you can see the sleeves in the front diff mounts. Once again the kit simply extends these sleeves and provides a longer bolt.
