I too have boot failure after 5 months from a modest 1.5" lift all around my truck. Mine squeezed all the grease out between the axle and inner cv boot on both sides. No cracks or holes. This is either coincidence or people are full **it when they say you don't need a diff drop with a small lift. I have read about a lot of boot failures lately after small lifts of 1.5" on Yotatech as well as other forums. My $.02

I just ordered the diff drop kit from toytec, i will let you know how it works out.
on a side note i sent an email off to warn products. they do not make any kind of hubs for 3rd gen's and they say nobody else does either. something to do with the way the wheel hubs are designed.

Personally I don't understand why auto makers are going ADD hubs, people lazy or something?

ohmy, i thought i replied to this long ago.. guess i forgot to hit the submit button.. sorry guys.. the drop kit worked perfectly. while the spacers are 1 inch in length it dropped the arms about 1/2 inch.. its been a few months and i have had no problems

There have been many threads with arguements over whether or not diff drops actually work, thanks for the quick reply! I'll be installing my daystar 2.5" lift soon and I'll be sure to install the 1'' diff drop too damn it!

shortly i put in my lift. the rear u-jointon the drive shafted needed to be replaced. i'm not sure if it was because of a different angle or not but it might be a thing to look at

And people think your crazy and blame it on quality of boot or you lifted your truck twice the amount of what you thought. Truth is is there is no standard for all trucks when lifting. My OEM boots are failing only a few months after installing my TRD springs up front netting me only 1.5". There are too many failures after small lifts for it to be coincidence therefore I think a recommendation of the diff drop for ANY lift is a safe thing and I'd rather install a diff drop for good insurance over new axles and/or boots each side any day!
Thanks for posting your results.

the drop kit from toytec only cost 30 bucks, campaired to what some lifts kits costs its really nothing and it helps out so much. the next question that should be asked is why dont all the lift kits come with the drop kit. seems like common sense to me
