Did the front diff actually get dropped down too? Those CVs look <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. Or is it because there is no weight on the front end?
I also like how everything is painted yellow.

Thats fully extended. There was a braket that came with for the front diff. THe thing is that it actually put the diff almost an 1" higher then the stock ones. wierd. Maybe the US cars are a little different. Right hand drive/ left hand drive. THere were alot of little things that needed to be fixed. Also the front diff uses 3 points to mont it. the kit uses 2. So a fabbed bracket had to be made to make the 3rd mount. More $$$.

Well that sucks! Really seem like a important part of the lift to bring down the diff.

Looks like its coming along nicely. I was actually looking at the same thing. The diff looks like it didnt drop down at all. Those CV's are gonna tear real fast if its driving at that level.
The yellow looks cool, but since nothing else on your rig is yellow, I would have sandblasted it and painted them black or something else cool, blue or red. But anyways, its on thats all that counts. Cant wait to see the final stance on it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />

On the pics from the Isuzu one, the diff looks dropped down. Email that guy you got it from and see if they sent the wrong parts.

The box was labled for the strada which is the sport with a bed. This an ISUZU drive angle with the same lift. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.planetisuzu.com/data/articles/114/01254-2-me.jpg)

I like your mechanics hair cut <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />...The cv angles do look extreme...keep in mind that you will now be able to uncrank the T-bars now that you have the bracket lift in the front and that should lessen the angle a bit. Thats the thing about pioneering something new, its trial and error so time will tell. I'm sure the system willl get a good working over in the sierras.
