    I hear ya Jo.

    I would be embarrassed to tell the project list I need to finish within the next 34 days. Procrastination will be my undoing.

    Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? I am a huge fan of productive procrastination. I needed to finish that fuel pump floor cutout, but instead I rotated the tires,started packing for Uwharrie, went and bought a gun...I did get the plate mounted yesterday

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I lost the last two days because of a back muscle spasm I suffered while sitting still in my office chair on Friday.

    Feeling better today though, hope to get out there and get an axle seal replaced and the rear axle back together.

    I'm thinking I'd like to do a diff drop to regain clearance with my bump stop. Not sure how to measure my front lift. Think its close to 3". Measurement from centerline of front axle to bottom of front fender clad is 22".

    So correct me if my thinking is wrong but, doing a two inch diff drop would raise my front end an equal amount?

    Then I lower my torsion bars to get back to my present height and regain my bump stop orginal (or close to) clearance?

    Diff drop will do nothing for ride height. Your vx will still sit the same height. What they so is lower the "pumpkin" which causes your cv shafts to be straighter with your current lift.

    Ok, thanks! Guess I won't bother with that then. Primary issue was the bump stop lack of clearance.
