PHAT Bars Forged Diff Drop For N70/ N80 Hilux
The next evolution of our original PHAT Bars Diff Drop, now upgraded to forged construction for improved strength and consistency.
We were the first to market with a true 3-point mounting system. This version keeps that proven design and takes it to the next level! With over 10,000 Hilux diff drops sold we know a thing or 2 about correcting the CV angles in a Hilux!
Why Do You Need a Diff Drop?
If you’re running a lift over 2”, your CV angles increase.
That leads to:
- Premature CV boot wear
- Increased stress on CV joints
- Higher chance of failure off-road under load
A PHAT Bars diff drop corrects the CV angles back to factory spec and takes load off the drivetrain.
Why PHAT Bars
Forged Construction
- Stronger and more consistent than fabricated alternatives
- Harder to replicate with cheap copies
- Built to the same strength and quality PHAT Bars is known for
DONT FALL FOR THE CHEAPER SPACER STYLE DIFF DROPS
- Spacer diff drops only roll the diff they don't actually drop it
- It weakens the way the diff is mounted
- Doesn't drop the diff enough to eliminate CV boot rub @ 3 inches of lift
LARGEST Diff Drop
- Largest drop physically achievable in a Hilux
- Improves CV angle as much as possible without compromising geometry
3-Point Mount System
- Includes our signature 3rd mount to the crossmember
- Reduces flex in the diff
- Supports both the diff and CV system under load
Built to Fix Known Weak Points
- Reduces stress on CVs when off-road
- Helps prevent premature wear and failure
- Strengthens overall front-end reliability
