Lift the front of a 4WD Toyota Tundra 3” or more and the CV axles spend every mile working at steep angles — hard on boots, joints, and smoothness. The Coachbuilder Front Differential Drop Kit takes the strain out by lowering the front differential 1.00”, reducing the CV operating angle and improving front driveline geometry on 2007 and newer Tundra 4WDs. The spacers are CNC machined from 6061 T6 billet aluminum, all necessary hardware is in the kit, and spacers and hardware for the factory skid plate are included so the underbody protection goes back on with the diff in its new position. Two-wheel-drive trucks have no front axles to protect — this kit is only needed on 4WD models.
Features
- Lowers the front differential 1.00” to reduce CV axle operating angle
- Recommended for 4WD Tundras with 3.00” or more of front lift
- Spacers CNC machined from 6061 T6 billet aluminum
- All necessary install hardware included
- Includes spacers and hardware for the factory skid plate
- Fits Toyota Tundra 2007 to current, 4WD models only
- TRD Pro models: skid plate modifications may be required
A front end lifted 3” or more usually needs steering geometry attention too — see the Coachbuilder Steering Kit for BDS, ProComp, and Zone lifts — and if you're fine-tuning ride height over aftermarket coilovers, the 1.00” Strut/Coilover Shims handle it. Match the rear driveline with a carrier bearing drop kit from our driveline components collection, or browse the whole Coachbuilder catalog.

Specifications
Coachbuilder Front Differential Drop Kit | 1.00" Drop for 4WD | Fits Toyota Tundra 2007+ | Ekstrom Design FAQs
Do I actually need a diff drop on my lifted Tundra?
Only if it's 4WD — 2WD trucks have no front CV axles, so the kit does nothing for them. Coachbuilder recommends this kit for 4WD Tundras (2007 and newer) running 3.00" or more of front lift, where CV operating angles get steep. Lowering the differential 1.00" reduces those angles and improves the front driveline geometry.
Will it work with my factory skid plate or TRD Pro skid plate?
The kit ships with spacers and hardware for the factory skid plate, so standard underbody protection reinstalls around the lowered diff. On TRD Pro models, skid plate modifications may be required — plan for that before install day if your truck wears the Pro plate.
What comes in the kit?
Diff drop spacers CNC machined from 6061 T6 billet aluminum, all necessary install hardware, and the additional spacers and hardware needed to refit the factory skid plate. The kit lowers the front differential 1.00" on 2007 and newer Toyota Tundra 4WD models.
