Transfer case drop pros / cons

[nuliana]

currently swapped in a 8.8 and getting a new drive shaft should i take out the t case drop or leave it in? If i was to leave it in and then later decided to take it out after the drive shaft was measure and ordered would it make a big difference?

 

[Vanimal]

do you have a slip yoke eliminator? are you lifted? assuming you are since you're doing a tcase drop. no point in getting a stock style driveshaft made, i'd get a SYE first. if you already have a SYe, no point in dropping the tcase.

why lift a jeep to lower the center of it? kinda defeats the purpose

 

[DirtRoadXJ]

if you do the sye, take out the tc drop.

 

[nuliana]

it is already sye setup im just wondering what the pros and cons are? If i measured for the shaft and had one built with the tcase drop on would it matter when i took it off.

 

[in4aride]

you have sye? then take the drop out.

The transfer case drop will obviously lower the center of gravity. Have you seen our low CoG thread?

if i have a 4" inch lift, should i install a 4" tcase drop to compensate? i'd hate to flop it.

i mean techincally, its not a lift, its an axle drop kit. Sheesh, get with the times

 

[nuliana]

lol you guys pretty much answered my question thanks... let the flaming begin

 

[in4aride]

im not flaming you. its just fun. when i first got a jeep i was a clueless douche that couldnt tell ya a lug nut from a spark plug (not that bad but you get the point) and its fun to joke around now that its comin around full circle

Once you've got the SYE, you can take the drop out and sell it. Then get your new shaft and go. No pros to a drop after the SYE.

removing the drop will give the front drive shaft better angles as well. as the rear gets pointed down, the front gets pointed up. youll have less binding on your motor mounts, assuming they arent trash already.

OR you can get Rusty's trans crossmember that drops the TC an inch without ANY loss in clearance.
