Default t case lowering kit

was wondering when you look at our t case's there is about a 1 1/4 " to 1 1/2 " isolator underneathe her ...

so my question is can we remove it and put a 1/2 " rubber isolater in there and would it allow us 2 drs a little more play in the amount of lift we can go w/t befor needin a drive shaft as well ??

my 2 cents.....i see nothing wrong with reducing the amount you lower the tcase although i would think that it needs to be made of a ridgid material.....i haven't a clue as far as the clearance issues of the ds. good luck with it.

I don't see why it would not work, I dropped the t-case on my wj and had no issues, other that a lower break over angle.

I had a tcase drop on my TJ. Hated it. I suggest you stop thinking in that direction.

that holds the tranny and t-case up, Not sure if holds the weight of the engine. I'm not sure you would want to change that..

It might. I think it's uncharted territory. You have to consider any increased articulation that the new suspension will provide, the height of the suspension, and the drop on the transfer case in your calculations.

really its a perfect fix to SAVE THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AND THE REAR if you have adjusting upper in rear the pinon side of dv/sft is fine. if they make one Id do it. although on a yj it looked dumb and screwed with the stick shift IDK but it is a jk different setup mabye it will work PM ME if anyone figures this out!
