Hi D,
One of the threaded mounting holes in the differential case for the strut rod bracket is off-set so the bracket can be installed in just one way.
Regards,
Alan

So, if ride height is raised by the rear spring, what is wrong with lowering it with longer bolts? At least as an interim fix till OP decides what to do for a spring?

I'm wondering if the front diff mount could have any influence?
Does anyone got a pic of how the bracket attaches/ a measurement of how thick the rubber bush is supposed to be? I have a solid 0.5" disc in there atm.

cheers

Hi,
Since the differential case mounts solidly to the differential crossmember the front mount for the differential had no effect on ride height.

Is the differential cross member properly bolted to the frame?

Alan



The differential crossmember at the frame.

Hi!

That's how mine looks :
( note, it's solid mounted to the frame)

Cheers!

Hi D,
I can't really tell anything from that photo.
But it's quite unlikely that the way the differential crossmember is mounted to the frame could be the cause of your ride height situation.

You have a spring with unknown load specs.... that's the beginning.
Regards,
Alan
