The engine makes power. That power is sent from the engine to the transmission. Then the power comes out of the transmission and goes to a transfer case that sends the power to the front or the back of the vehicle through the driveshafts to the axles. Inside the axles are another set of gears called a differential, that sends the power to the tires.

My Bronco (Jon) has a Toms Offroad 2.5” lift with a 1” body lift. But, recently I added the Bilstein 5165 Dual reservoir shocks which made my suspension really soft.
