During the front locker install on my 94 b4000 d35 GUESS WHAT WE FOUND! If you said a diff full of mud and water and a dime sized hole YOU WOULD BE RIGHT! Got a nice patch on the hole for $50 but other than new lift kit can we prevent another hole? A little background-bought truck lifted,put on winch and big bumper so it sagged a bit,LF spring came out on 3 different occasions while wheeling (now bigger/taller 6" sky jacker springs are CLAMPED in) no pop outs since clamping but I don't know when hole occured? we think we see the edge that made the hole so we might grind a little-is this a bad idea?

So does the kit use the drop plate or a drop bracket?
