Quick Slee Diff Drop question

[ntsaint]

Just installed a Slee diff drop and everything went smooth. But since I'm still pretty new at mechanical stuff on my 100, wanted to double check.

The front diff mount spacer is my question...is it installed correctly? I had to jack up the frame while the diff was loose to get it in this way, which I believe is how it is shown in the fuzzy b/w pictures in the directions?

Just want to verify with someone who has done it before.

OK, waited a few days before posting this...

something isn't right with the front end after the diff drop. It feels 'loose' for lack of a better term, and I'm also getting a lot of metallic feedback in the pedal.

Anything obvious I might could check before I call Slee and ask for advice?

I'm assuming you double checked all the bolts after a few days?

As spresso mentioned the above picture looks the same as mine..??

Yeah everything is nice and tight, torqued to spec. It def has me puzzled.

Did you do it as part of a lift? What is your rake?

Lift was done previously. Rake is right at 1".

Was doing some research and ran across this thread. Ever figure out what was causing this?

Also curious how installation of your rear bumper affected your rake? Noticed you were at 1 inch before the bumper install. Did you adjust your t-bars to accommodate the weight of the bumper lowering the rear or are you running with less than a 1 inch rake? If <1inch rake, have you noticed any driveability issues (I.e. tracking on uneven road surfaces)?

Thanks!
