since this question has been asked soo many times....

dogbones are different lengths for stock vs. lift.

BUT, there's a loophole. the front uses deeper axle stubs and shorter dogbones, while the rear uses shallower stubs with longer dogbones.

this means, that with the lift, you can use the deeper FRONT stubs with longer REAR stubs on all 4 corners. they will work fine, that's what I'm running on my truck. you may also want to stuff a little bit of something (plastic, toilet paper, etc.) in the stub to push the dogbone deeper into the diff....

this means you can also just buy a bunch of stock plastic ones from AM for much cheaper than the alloy ones.


note. I would also HIGHLY recommend using alloy diffs aswell. otherwise you'll snap those too (I've done it...it's not fun)
