Slee in the gx game? Shazam!
 
Glad you liked it Rachel. Enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions. I know a fair bit about that GX :)
 
I'd reccomend the front diff drop. Even with clamps your old worn cv boots are going to crack/leak when you put the lift on. Never understood not doing a diff drop when it's such a cheap mod plus takes ten minutes to install. Good luck!

Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of lifting to gain clearance? Why not just get high angle boots?
 
@Romer @daughterofromer Could you please tell me how many inches of the upper trim was saved after removing the running boards? I'm planning to buy the same sliders once Slee releases them and would like to keep the same trim amount for proper fitment of sliders. I've attached a picture of the specific area in question.View media item 59462
Thanks

The diff drop really just changes the angle to save your CVs. The spacer is about an inch (half inch maybe?) and angles the front part of the diff down. If you are lifting the truck it has virtually no impact on clearance. Just a little extra insurance. Even with the diff drop on mine the inner boots were a little leaky. Just went ahead and replaced both axles for piece of mind. No leaks since though.

Slee did the install and we took no measurements. All we have are pictures. You can compare the one you referenced with any stock picture and your guess would be as good as mine OR you can call Slee and ask them
