Is there any more info on these. Will it bolt up to an 18 and does it still require the frame cut? Figure I'll gather as much information as I can before I spend another 1000 and scrap the no cut 4 inch pro kit lift and install the zone 6 inch front

You probably dont need it on an 18.
Frame dosnt get cut just the contol arm cross bracket

When I was at 3 inches I didnt need it. The angles are terrible at 4 so I need to drop the dif down. I was just going to go with a zone front lift to match the rear but if I could save cutting and the money of the front lift I would be interested in the bracket. Just didnt know if the tabs still had to be cut with it and if it would fit the 18. I'm still in the air but just want to do it before winter

They only offer that kit up to 2011 then they changed the diffs in 2012 and up. So the brackets wont work for yours anyway

Anyone find anything yet? I'm looking for a diff drop kit as well. The truck is apart and in the air now so this would be the best time to drop it

I looked into this recently and couldn't find anything for the 2012+ 1500s.

If you're under 3" of lift, you won't need the diff drop on your 2015. I'm at 3" and my CVs aren't at an ideal angle but they aren't bad enough to need it either.

Like I said in an earlier post I had it done on my 2011. It was the zone kit. Like others have said you only need it up to 2011 as the diffs were changed in 2012.
Heres a Pic of what it looks like. The pics with the axles is after it was installed.

FWIW my 2013 has 5100s at 2.8 and my cv angles aren't bad at all. I have no vibration in 4wd either. I wonder if 2012+ axles sit lower?

Yes that was the change in 2012.
