    I believe mine were dropped down 2". But it may have only been 1.5, I'll have to check and see.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    I'm about 90% sure that Sean over @ MWIOR used VX diff. brackets as the "donors" when he dropped the front of his Amigo...if that cross-over info. is of any help.

    Seems to me, I remember a spirited discussion on the 4x4 wire as to the interchangability between years/models. Might be worth a search...

    THREAD RESURRECTION....

    By the transitive property, could one assume, Diff Drop brackets designed for the Amigo (darlington diff drop brackets) would work on the Vehicross?

    Might have a line on a never installed set.

    Never assume ...the best answer I can give you right now is "possibly".

    If you search the 4X4wire, in the Isuzu forums, "diff drop brackets", you should be able to find the discussion between Strawmeyers & Mathew(Matt from indy 4x) on this topic.
    PM me if you want me to call Sean & ask him for further details, as I'm not sure of the model year of his Amigo.

    I was going to suggest you check with Indy 4X since they did the lift for Nerve_Gas. He has a 4.5 inch suspension lift so I'm sure he's had some form of diff drop.

    I sent him a PM. I'll let you know what he says.

    Yeah guys I messed up when I had my lift done. I didn't drop the diff and now its hurting me. I have no 4wd at the moment because I had to pull my front drive shaft until I can axle swap. Way to much angle on my CV's. I'm sure Matt at Indy4x could do them just give him a call and talk to him. If he needs a truck to get an idea from just let me know I should be able to run it out there and let him look.

    Custom Independent4x 4.5" suspension lift, Custom Independent4x 3" body lift, 36x13.50R16 Irok radials, 16x8 American Racing Mojave teflons, Warn locking front hubs, Independent4x extended braided brake lines, Independent4x heavy duty tie rods, Calmini extended bump stops, Calmini extended brake line brackets, Rancho RS9000X shocks,1.5" wheel spacers, And trimmed cladding
