I removed my lift for this reason, It was putting the front drivetrain in to much of a bind. Between the busted diffs and 6 axles I had to do something. Of course there was the problem with getting alittle thumb happy on the throttle sometimes, which didn't help any. Once I removed the lift everything has held together so far with no problems.

remove drum, there are 4 bolts holding the brake plate, remove them and you can set your brake assem. aside and pull the a-arms, knuckel and axles all in one unit, just give the axles a good pull and they will come out of the diff. once you have both sides out, then you can start on the diff. There are 3 mounts that need to be unbolted and removed, also undo the vent line and wiring. also remove the o-ring on the driveshalf boot and slide it loose from the shalf. once this is done, push the driveshalf as far back as you can and the diff will come out, it will be alittle tight.
