Hello, looking for some help in sorting out my transfer case linkage.
I have a 99 xj with 4.0/aw4/242, lifted 6.5” on 35’s. I clocked my t case about 10 degrees up to accommodate a skid plate. At the same time I removed the factory linkage and installed Boostwerks linkage kit. After some adjustment, got the linkage all set up and dialed in perfectly. After everything was done, I popped the drive lines back in and called it a night. Got in it yesterday to take it for a test drive and immediately noticed a clunking sound as I pulled out of the garage. I got out and crawled under and found that the linkage is hitting the Carden joint on the front drive line. I messed with the linkage for a while trying different positions and can’t get it out of the way.
So, looking for advise as to what direction to go. Has anyone found themselves in the same situation?
I have looked at other options and from what I can tell, there is the Novak cable kit and Azzy’s linkage kit. Haven’t read good things about the Novak kit, but the Azzy kit looks like it may do the trick, but hard to tell from the pictures I’ve seen.
Any insight would be truly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shawn
