Negative, gave 2.25 inches upfront and 2 in the rear
🛠️ What Have You Done To Your LC250 Today?

If you off-road and don’t want to kill your cv axles I’d highly recommend a diff drop. Easy install and not allot of money, cheap insurance.
Also looks like you have allot of poke so that just adds to the leverage working against the CV axles.

How much does the diff drop lower the diff?
How much does it change clearance between diff and skid plate?
I’m coming around to the idea of the diff drop being a good idea.
The wheel offset would change the forces the steering and control arms see, but how would it affect the CVs?
I watched that video when it came out and decided no on diff drops, but the 250 is a different platform.
So did you go with diff drop?
None of the negatives in his video apply to the LC250 diff drop and the diff still adequately clears the skid and is protected by cross member as well. No reduction in ground clearance, better cv angles and pinion angle only changes by 1 degree.
Nothing negative I can see and ICON, Dobinsons and others require the diff drop on anything at or over 2” in for their warranties to apply.
Plus if your running extended travel coils, UCAs and we are full time 4WD everything he talks about not applying to the generation of Toyotas the video was made for applies to the 250 series.
Short story = cheap insurance for this platform IMHO, with no negatives.

So easy and looks so much better.
I installed Rokblokz XL mudflaps. Just on the front for now cause my back is jacked. After I recover, I’ll install the rears.
I’ll do a mini write up but they are fairly easy to install and the screw washers they use look really nicely finished with their name.
They are just wide enough for my +18 offset wheels/tires.

This is mine without diff drop (see photos)
2” rear lifted King Shocks+Dobinsons Springs (accommodated permanent up to 170lbs load)
front King Shocks+Total Chaos UCA: leveled to rear (probably 2.5-2.75” raised ?)

Haven't yet but probably will.
I want to see what the new dobinsons version looks like to compare to the icon that’s been out.
That looks like ride height, right?
What does it look like at full droop?
Yes. The photos taken at level / ride height.
Don’t know what it looks like at full droop…Will check when I have a chance to stop by the shop
