Anyone make a suspension leveling kit with diff drop for our new trucks?

I am leaning away from the whole spacer lift because of the threads I have been reading about CV boots wearing quick etc. etc.

Is there a suspension lift that gives 2-2.5" of lift and also has the proper diff drop application for our 09's yet?

Thanks guys!!

A leveling kit with a diff drop would be an expensive 2 inches. The full suspension lifts are the only kits that come with differential drops. If you're looking to lift properly, and keep all of the suspensions stock geometry, save up a little more and get a full suspension lift. Other wise, you'll have to stick with the spacer.

Or the bilstein 5100's, but either way, no you wont have a diff drop.

Dropping the diff on a 2-2.5" level kit would not really help anything. The worse angles of CVs and BJs comes form the limited suspension travel. IMO the CVs are fine on my truck with a 2.5" level, it is the BJs that are in more of an extreme angle. It doesn't bother me, I just inspect them every time I have my truck in the air and also try not to let the suspension drop when doing over bumps and such.

Best bet is go with a two piece design. It comes with an upper strut mount plus pre-load spacers that increase corning performance and offset the weight of large tires to make it feel closer to stock. Most important it doesn't max out your ball joints during suspension travel. Go to BDS suspension and check it out. I'm running their leveling kit and its been great far but for what its worth i had an autospring on my 07 with no problems either.

Don't leave out the Rancho quickLIFTs for the 2009. Pretty much the same as Bilsteins. The lower spring seat is higher so all the lift comes from preload not spacers.

Hmm so I guess my top two choices would be either the rancho quicklift setup or the BDS leveling kit. Are there any pro's and con's between those two?

Thanks!!
