When you lift your first-gen Tundra, the front differential stays at stock height while the suspension drops, pulling the CV axles into a steep downward angle that causes vibration, premature joint wear, and drivetrain noise. This kit relocates the differential downward to restore proper CV axle geometry, eliminating axle bind and extending the life of your front drivetrain. Made in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this is the correct fix for any lifted 1999-2006 Tundra 4x4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 front differential drop spacers with integrated bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 longer replacement mounting bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll necessary nuts, washers, and hardware for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Your Lifted Tundra Needs a Differential Drop\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifting your 1999-2006 Tundra 4x4 lowers the suspension relative to the frame, but the front differential stays bolted at its factory mounting position.

Their components are engineered to work together as a system, and individual hardware components are built to the same standards as their full lift kits. Every Tuff Country product is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Tuff Country 55913 work with any brand lift kit, or only Tuff Country lifts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt works with any brand of lift kit in the 2 to 6 inch range. While it is the OEM-equivalent component inside Tuff Country's own Tundra lift kits, the spacer design is purely mechanical and will restore correct CV angles regardless of which brand's lift is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat year range does the 55913 fit exactly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 55913 fits the 1999-2006 Toyota Tundra 4WD. The 2007 and newer second-generation Tundra uses a completely different differential mounting setup and requires a separate part. For 2007-2017 Tundras, see Tuff Country part numbers 50303 or 55914.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 55913 fit both the 3.4L V6 and 4.7L V8 first-gen Tundra?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The differential drop mounts to the front differential crossmember, a structural location that is identical across both engine options on the 1999-2006 Tundra. Engine displacement has no effect on fitment for this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 55913 fit a 2WD Toyota Tundra?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. This kit is designed for 4WD Tundras only. A 2WD Tundra does not have a front differential or CV axles, so there is nothing to relocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much lift do I need before a differential drop is required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMost builders recommend a differential drop for any lift of 2 inches or more on the first-gen Tundra. The 55913 is rated for 2 to 6 inch lifts. If you are running more than 6 inches, contact Tuff Country directly to confirm compatibility before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if I skip the differential drop on my lifted 1999-2006 Tundra 4x4?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRunning a lifted 4WD Tundra without correcting CV axle angles puts the inner joints at an angle beyond their design limit. This accelerates wear on the CV axles, inner joints, and differential seals, and causes vibration and clicking during turns. Correcting it now with a differential drop is far less expensive than replacing CV axles or rebuilding a differential later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill installing this kit void my Toyota factory warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnder the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an aftermarket part cannot void your factory warranty unless the dealer can prove that specific part directly caused the failure being claimed. Installing a differential drop kit does not automatically void any coverage on your Tundra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the correct part for a 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WD?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Tacoma equivalent is Tuff Country part number 55912.
