Announcement:

It has been advised by the Superior Engineering Research & Development team that this diff drop kit also fits the Isuzu M-UX.

Design Objectives

The problem with Independent Front Suspension vehicles after fitting a suspension lift is the mis-alignment of the front diff and suspension geometry.

This limitation with IFS design is the major cause of vibrations, steering problems and premature wear and damage to the vehicles cv joints and cv boots.

The Three Main advantages of Superior’s newly designed diff drop bracket are:

  1. They are designed to drop the front differential 30mm lower to re-align and fix the cv angle after a lift has been fitted.
  2. They are also designed to replace your factory crossmember with something much stronger which can withstand harsh punishment and rigors of driving offroad.
  3. Designed for maximum coverange to protect the sump without compromising the performance of your 4wd.

That’s a whole lot of bang for your buck.

Features & Benefits

The bracket is CAD engineered for the ultimate in durability and strength, laser cut from tough heavy duty 350 grade high quality Australian steel, CNC pressed for a precise fit, then sand-blasted and powder coated for hard wearing corrosion resistant protective finsh.

Drain holes are also included for easy care and maintenance, it utilises factory mounts for a straignt up fit, and is fabricated by trained qualified professionals.

  1. Hi there, I am wondering if you have looked into or can fabricate a siff drop that not only drops the diff down vertically but also moves the diff forward towards the front of the car about 25-30mm horizontally. The Isuzu Dmax has the diff sitting behind the wheel hubs so that cvs are on a angle horizontally from stock which can cause breakages whilst turning under power.

    1. Hi Mick
      Unfortunately the current 2017 model Dmax is a different setup and this diff drop will not work.
      At this stage no diff drop is available for that vehicle.

    1. Good morning Ben,

      Thank you for your enquiry.

      No, that is not a part we manufacture at the stage sorry.

    1. Hi Timothy. Sorry for the late reply. Our servers have been down. I have passed your inquiry on our sales area. I will have a reply to you very shortly.

    2. Hi Timothy.

      I just spoke to the R&D team and they advised they have not fitted an ARB bash plate with this diff drop kit before.

      However, they advised you will most likely need to space down the ARB bash plate to fit back on.

      If you have any more questions please reply.
