just trying to verify that if i drop the front diff. 1.25"-1.5", nothing else will need to be modified (other than the cross member). steering components and everything else should remain the same and clear. is my thinking correct?

thanks.

Body Damage is Cool
Yeah Pete. The crossmember will have to be cut to clear the diff. Also the oilpan skid plate has to be bent some, But at barnwell I didn't see one on your truck.
Are you installing a front locker at the same time??
Its a pain to get that front axle out.
